Oriana Fallaci
But here's what I've learned in this war, in this country, in this city: to love the miracle of having been born.
Oriana Fallaci
Europe becomes more and more a province of Islam, a colony of Islam. And Italy is an outpost of that province, a stronghold of that colony... In each of our cities lies a second city: a Muslim city, a city run by the Quran. A stage in the Islamic expansionism.
Oriana Fallaci
To have realized your dream makes you feel lost.
Oriana Fallaci

Oriana Fallaci

Oriana Fallaci
You cannot govern, you cannot administrate, with an ignoramus.
Oriana Fallaci
Objectivity does not exist - it cannot exist!.. The word is a hypocrisy which is sustained by the lie that the truth stays in the middle. No, sir: Sometimes truth stays on one side only.
Oriana Fallaci
I have never met a man more shy than Clark Gable. He was so shy, you couldn't make him talk.
Oriana Fallaci
But to deny fate is arrogance, to declare that we are the sole shapers of our existence is madnessif you deny fate life becomes the series of missed opportunities, a regret for what never was and could have been, a remorse of what was not done and could have been done, and the present is wasted, twisted into another missed oppurtunity.
Oriana Fallaci
If a man is a man and not a sheep in the flock, he has a survival instinct in him that leads him to fight even if he realizes he's fighting in vain, even if he knows he will lose.
Oriana Fallaci
True power does not need arrogance, a long beard and a barking voice. True power strangles you with silk ribbons, charm and intelligence.
Oriana Fallaci
Sometimes I ask myself whether [Indira Gandhi] had, even then, a certain contempt for the system she represented and, years later, would overthrow.
Oriana Fallaci
You wear yourself out in the pursuit of wealth or love or freedom, you do everything to gain some right, and once it's gained you take no pleasure in it.
Oriana Fallaci
Besides the things I asked [Indira Gandhi], she told me about her son Rajiv, who is married to an Italian girl and is a pilot for Air India, then of her younger son Sanjay, who is an automobile designer and still a bachelor.
