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.

More quotes by Oriana Fallaci
Glory is a heavy burden, a murdering poison, and to bear it is an art. And to have that art is rare.
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
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
Physical courage is a great test.
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
I have always looked on disobedience toward the oppressive as the only way to use the miracle of having been born.
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
I have reached the conclusion that those who have physical courage also have moral courage. Physical courage is a great test.
Oriana Fallaci
You belong neither to God nor the state nor me. You belong to yourself and no one else.
Oriana Fallaci
There are three points of view to everything - mine, yours, and the truth.
Oriana Fallaci
I have expressed my opinion through the written word through my books, that is all.
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
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
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
The increased presence of Muslims in Italy and in Europe is directly proportional to our loss of freedom.
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
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
Sometimes the dead are more alive than the living. And they can kill the living.
Oriana Fallaci
How do you dare to ask me for a solution? It's like asking Seneca for a solution. You remember what he did? He committed suicide!
Oriana Fallaci
