“حسادت زانوهارو خم می کنه و خواب رو از آدم می دزده، و جیگر رو آتیش می زنه و فکر رو از کار میندازه. حسادت آدم رو با زهر سوءظن مسموم می کنه، حیثت و اخلاق آدم رو زیر سوال می بره. خودت رو گول خورده حس می کنی و تبدیل به پلیسی میشی که زندانبان معشوقتی! واسه همین باید همیشه عشق رو مرمت کرد”
― Oriana Fallaci, quote from A Man

“Don’t let yourself be regimented by dogma, by uniforms, by doctrines, don’t let yourselves be fooled by those who command you, by those who promise, who frighten, by those who want to replace one master with another, don’t be flock of sheep, for heaven’s sake, don’t hide under the umbrella of other people’s guilt, think with your own brains, remember that each of you is somebody, a valuable individual, a responsible, his own maker, defend your being, the kernel of all freedom, freedom is a duty, a duty even more than right”
― Oriana Fallaci, quote from A Man

― Oriana Fallaci, quote from A Man

“Ho guadagnato una vita,
un biglietto per la morte,
e viaggio ancora.
In certi momenti
ho creduto d'essere giunto,
alla fine del viaggio mi sbagliavo.
Erano solo imprevisti del cammino.”
― Oriana Fallaci, quote from A Man

“أنا لست قادرا علي قتل رجل , لكن الطاغية ليس رجلا إنما هو طاغية”
― Oriana Fallaci, quote from A Man

“But to deny fate is arrogance, to declare that we are the sole shapers of our existence is madness;if you deny fate life becomes the series of missed opportunities, a regret for what never was and could have been, a remorse of what was not done and could have been done, and the present is wasted, twisted into another missed oppurtunity.”
― Oriana Fallaci, quote from A Man

“الحرية هي واجب, واجب أكثر من كونها حقا!”

“I didn't want to kill a man. I'm not capable of killing a man. I wanted to kill a tyrant.”
― Oriana Fallaci, quote from A Man

“Il vero inquisitore è un uomo lugubre. Filosoficamente è il vero fascista, cioè il fascista privo di colore che serve tutti i fascismi, tutti i totalitarismi, tutti i regimi purché servano a mettere gli uomini in fila come croci in un cimitero. Lo trovi ovunque vi sia un’ideologia, un principio assoluto, una dottrina che proibisca all’individuo d’essere sé stesso.”
― Oriana Fallaci, quote from A Man

“Dire che il popolo è sempre vittima, sempre innocente, è un'ipocrisia e una menzogna e un insulto alla dignità di ogni uomo, di ogni donna, di ogni persona. Un popolo è fatto di uomini, donne, persone, ciascuna di queste persone ha il dovere di scegliere, di decidere per se stessa; e non si cessa di scegliere, di decidere, perché non si è né generali né ricchi né potenti.”
― Oriana Fallaci, quote from A Man

“Poi coloro che chiamavi rivoluzionari del cazzo, futuri seguaci dei fanatici, degli assassini che sparano revolverate in nome del proletariato e della classe operaia aggiungendo abusi agli abusi, infamie alle infamie, potere essi stessi. E guardali mentre alzano il pugno, gli ipocriti, con le loro barbette di falsi sovversivi, la loro grinta borghese di burocrati a venire, padroni a venire. Infine i preti, sintesi d’ogni potere presente e passato e futuro, di ogni prepotenza, di ogni dittatura. E guardali mentre si pavoneggiano nelle loro tonache oscure, coi loro simboli insensati, i loro turiboli d’incenso che annebbia gli occhi e la mente. In mezzo ad essi il Gran Sacerdote, il patriarca della chiesa ortodossa che ammantato di seta viola, grondante di ori e di collane, di croci preziose, zaffiri rubini smeraldi, salmodiava «Eonìa imì tu esù. Eterna sia la memoria di te»,”
― Oriana Fallaci, quote from A Man
