Oriana Fallaci
No matter what system you live under, there is no escaping the law that it's always the strongest, the cruellest, the least generous who win.
Oriana Fallaci
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
You cannot survive if you do not know the past.
Oriana Fallaci

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
Wojtyla was a warrior, who did more to end the Soviet Union than even America.
Oriana Fallaci
Love isn’t putting chain on someone who wants to struggle and is ready to die for it, love is letting him die in the way he’s chosen.
Oriana Fallaci
This Islam business kidnapped me.
Oriana Fallaci
Sometimes the dead are more alive than the living. And they can kill the living.
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?
Oriana Fallaci
The moment you give up your principles, and your values, you are dead, your culture is dead, your civilization is dead. Period.
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
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.
