Oriana Fallaci


"You cannot survive if you do not know the past. We know why all the other civilizations have collapsed--from an excess of welfare, of richness, and from lack of morality, of spirituality."
"The moment you give up your principles, and your values . . . the moment you laugh at those principles, and those values, you are dead, your culture is dead, your civilization is dead. Period."

With everything that happened yesterday, I forgot to mention that Oriana Fallaci died.

I had reviewed her last book here.

The thing about her that first caught my attention was that she had been indicted in Tuscany for insulting Islam.

Yep, you read that right.

The lady was a true champion of free speech. And a great writer.
