No one’s death has hit me so strongly since president Reagan died as Fallaci’s has. In her post-9/11 work we were witnessing Greatness among us. It is such a rare, rare thing. She was showing us how we should all be the best soldiers we can in the war. I’ve always admired fearlessness, but this woman defined the word. She earned the eternal hate of our Islamic enemies, and our deep love.

From a June 23, 2005 WSJ article:

[Fallaci] professes to "cry, sometimes, because I'm not 20 years younger..."

I shed a tear for you, and for ourselves at your passing Lioness of Florence.

It figures that when we need the west to show some balls, we have to turn to a female leader. Fitting on the day Fallaci died.

AP wrote in an update to the “Turkish bestseller…” thread.

I can’t think of a more fitting tribute to Oriana Fallaci. Well done!

Oh wow… So sad. I have read several of her books. I would like to suggest “A Man”.
I will miss her terribly. The way she wrote… I will never forget her discription of a priest where she said “the Catholic chuch has given you everything, all the way down to the underpants you are wearing!”

No more “hugs and handshakes”…

Unlike the enemy, when it came to Islam, her bomb-throwing was strictly rhetorical, writes Allapundit of Oriana Fallaci, who died today. Indeed, Fallaci’s vogue these last few years was, I think, a reaction to western leaders mindlessly chanting ‘Is…

Ive read ‘The Rage and the Pride’ and ‘The Force of Reason’ – she is very articulate in her writing and doesn’t pull any punches.

She will definately be missed.

Does anyone know when The Apocalypse (the third book will be out in English? It is available in Italian. As I recall she did her own Italian to English translations.

“I can imagine a no more rewarding career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worth while, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: ‘I served in the United States Navy.’” President John F. Kennedy, Remarks at the U.S. Naval Academy, 8/1/63

Oriana Fallaci showed us, by her example, the honorable way in the 21st century: she refused to submit.

RIP.

Very nice obituary AP. Steyn might call you if he needs someone to cover his obituary column at the Atlantic.

I’m reading The Force of Reason now. If things ever get as ridiculous here as they are in Italy (well, Europe), I can see a lot of people getting boorish. And probably quite a bit beyond boorish, too!

Having had too many deaths in my family, including losing my mother to cancer when I was 13, I’ve grown to accept death easier than others and to not cry often over it.

I cry for you Orianna, not for your physical death, but for warning us of our blinders toward our biggest losses yet to come. Really then, I cry for us.

She may be dead in body, but her memory and spirit will live on. Western Civilization couldn’t have asked for a better and more outspoken defender. She pissed a lot of people off and scared others, but like her Florentine bretheren Niccolo Machiavelli, she wasn’t afraid to see the unvarnished truth or to openly speak it – even knowing that most people can’t handle it.

Thank you and God Bless you, Orianna.

HotAir readers, you should pay homage to her by reading both ‘The Rage and the Pride’ and ‘The Force of Reason’. Not only for her though, but for yourself as well.

She will be long remembered. Bless You Orianna.
A legacy that can continue to give. That too, is special.
I wonder how long we will continue to learn from her? It’s up to us. She has given us some tools and thoughts, will we listen and chose how to use them?

labwrs — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 15:22:03 +0000

if she was more boorish about it than some of us would like, well, it’s better than nothing.

As rallying cries go, you can do worse than that. RIP

Amen.
You are with God now Orianna. Pray for the rest of us.
