It is the mainspring of life, courage. And courage has many faces.

Oriana Fallaci 118 quotes

How do you dare to ask me for...

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!

Laura Bush has the face of my...

Laura Bush has the face of my mother when my mother was young. The face, the body, the voice. The first time I saw on TV Laura Bush, I got frozen because it was as if my mother was not dead. 'Oh, Mama,' I said, 'Mama.'

Without Khomeini, we would no...

Without Khomeini, we would not be where we are. What a pity that, when pregnant with him, his mother did not choose to have an abortion.

I don't hide. I never have. I stay at home because I like to stay at home, and at home I work.

Oriana Fallaci 118 quotes

Alas, nothing reveals man the...

Alas, nothing reveals man the way war does. Nothing so accentuates in him the beauty and ugliness, the intelligence and foolishness, the brutishness and humanity, the courage and cowardice, the enigma.

Is it right to shoot the poor prostitute or a woman who is unfaithful to her husband, or a man who loves another man?

The most humiliating thing a woman can be is a coquette.

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.

The Muslims refuse our culture and try to impose their culture on us. I reject them, and this is not only my duty toward my culture-it is toward my values, my principles, my civilization.

Oriana Fallaci 118 quotes

I didn't want to kill a man. ...

I didn't want to kill a man. I'm not capable of killing a man. I wanted to kill a tyrant.

Oriana Fallaci 118 quotes

America's vulnerability comes...

America's vulnerability comes precisely from its strength, its wealth, its power and its modernity. It's the usual story of the dog chasing its own tail.

Oriana Fallaci 118 quotes

What's the point anyway - Of ...

What's the point anyway - Of suffering, dying? It teaches us to live, boy. A man who does not struggle does not live, he survives.

Oriana Fallaci 118 quotes

With our progress we have destroyed our only weapon against tedium: that rare weakness we call imagination.

Oriana Fallaci 118 quotes

I don't even know if I will b...

I don't even know if I will be around next year. My cancers are so bad that I think I've arrived at the end of the road. What a pity. I would like to live not only because I love life so much, but because I'd like to see the result of the trial. I do think I will be found guilty.

Oriana Fallaci 118 quotes

Hearing him speak is so fun, ...

Hearing him speak is so fun, reassuring I dare say. You can say all you like about Sihanouk: that he's an atrocious liar, a madman, a fraud, a swashbuckler, an international blot. You may think that, but you cannot deny how in this age in which the political arena seems to generate only dull, obtuse and boring characters with no imagination, he's a kind of miracle.

Oriana Fallaci 118 quotes

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 118 quotes

Glory is a heavy burden, a murdering poison, and to bear it is an art. And to have that art is rare.

Oriana Fallaci 118 quotes

I have reached the conclusion that those who have physical courage also have moral courage. Physical courage is a great test.
