RIP: Oriana Fallaci

One of my favorites has passed. Freedom fighter. Rebel. Truth-seeker. Truth-sayer. Non-believer. Believer. Passionate. Passionate. Passionate.
"People like me who have passion are derided: 'Ha ha ha! She's hysterical!' 'She's very passionate!' Listen how the Americans speak about me: 'A very passionate Italian.'"


"There are moments in Life when keeping silent becomes a fault, and speaking an obligation. A civic duty, a moral challenge, a categorical imperative from which we cannot escape."
She could not be silenced. Will not be silent. Even in death.

Update: In memorium. A friend remembers.
