Listening to someone talk isn't at all like listening to their words played over on a machine. What you hear when you have a face before you is never what you hear when you have before you a winding tape.
Oriana Fallaci
Listen: if I am a painter and I do your portrait, have I or haven't I the right to paint you as I want?
Oriana Fallaci
To have realized your dream makes you feel lost.
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
I cry, sometimes, because I'm not 20 years younger, and I'm not healthy. But if I were, I would even sacrifice my writing to enter politics.
Oriana Fallaci
Henry Kissinger may have wished I had presented him as a combination of Charles DeGaulle and Disraeli, but I didn't....out of respect for DeGaulle and Disraeli. I described him as a cowboy because that is how he describes himself. If I were a cowboy I would be offended.
Oriana Fallaci
You belong neither to God nor the state nor me. You belong to yourself and no one else.
Oriana Fallaci
The more democratic and open a society is, the more it's exposed to terrorism. The more a country is free, not governed by a police regime, the more it risks hijackings or massacres like the ones that took place for many years in Italy and Germany and other parts of Europe.
Oriana Fallaci
When my father was arrested, we didn't know where they had him. My mother found him at the house of torture. It was called Villa Triste.
Oriana Fallaci
This Islam business kidnapped me.
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
If you put a pistol against my head and ask which I think is worse, Muslims or Mexicans, I'd have to think a moment, then I'd say the Muslims because they've broken my balls.
Oriana Fallaci
I defend Israel's right to exist, to defend themselves, to not let themselves be exterminated a second time.
Oriana Fallaci
I didn't want to kill a man. I'm not capable of killing a man. I wanted to kill a tyrant.
Oriana Fallaci
You cannot survive if you do not know the past.
Oriana Fallaci
Physical courage is a great test.
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
Khomeini was not a puppet like Arafat or Qaddafi or the many other dictators I met in the Islamic world. He was a sort of Pope, a sort of king - a real leader.
Oriana Fallaci
Instead of learned young people we have donkeys with University degrees. Instead of future leaders we have mollusks with expensive blue jeans and phony revolutionaries with ski masks. And do you know what? Maybe this is another reason why our Moslem invaders have such an easy game.
Oriana Fallaci
I am angry at the Jews for many things... If you want to take the example of America, how they hold the power, the economical power in so many ways, and the press and the other kind of stuff... I never realized how it happened and they came to control the media to that point. Why?
