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.

The moment you give up your principles, and your values, you are dead, your culture is dead, your civilization is dead. Period.
-
I no longer have the energy to get really angry, like I used to.
-
You cannot govern, you cannot administrate, with an ignoramus.
-
I don't want to hear about my death.
-
The increased presence of Muslims in Italy and in Europe is directly proportional to our loss of freedom.
-
Khomeini was not a puppet like Arafat or Qaddafi or the many other dictators I met in the Islamic world. He was a sort of Pope, a sort of king - a real leader.
-
It must be terribly lonely to be a king instead of a man.
-
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.

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

I am disgusted by the anti-Semitism of many Italians, of many Europeans.
-
This Islam business kidnapped me.
-
You cannot work and be at home with your child. But you want both.
-
Europe is no longer Europe, it is Eurabia, a colony of Islam, where the Islamic invasion does not proceed only in a physical sense, but also in a mental and cultural sense.

To speak of oneself means to lay bare one's own soul, expose it like a body to the sun. To lay bare one's own soul is not at all like taking off one's brassiere on a crowded beach!
-
I have expressed my opinion through the written word through my books, that is all.
-
What are the symbols of American strength, wealth, power and modernity? Certainly not jazz and rock and roll, not chewing-gum or hamburgers, Broadway or Hollywood. It's their skyscrapers. Their Pentagon. Their science. Their technology.

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.
