You cannot work and be at home with your child. But you want both.

The moment you give up your principles, and your values, you are dead, your culture is dead, your civilization is dead. Period.

From Oriana Fallaci

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.

From Oriana Fallaci

I find it shameful that in nearly all the universities of Europe, Palestinian students sponsor and nurture anti-Semitism.

From Oriana Fallaci

I am disgusted by the anti-Semitism of many Italians, of many Europeans.

From Oriana Fallaci

I have always looked on disobedience toward the oppressive as the only way to use the miracle of having been born.

From Oriana Fallaci

Whether it comes from a despotic sovereign or an elected president, from a murderous general or a beloved leader, I see power as an inhuman and hateful phenomenon.

From Oriana Fallaci

From Oriana Fallaci

From Oriana Fallaci

We must take positions. Our weakness in the West is born of the fact of so-called 'objectivity.' 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.
