When you have been born in a war like me, living in a war as a child, when you have been in wars as a war correspondent all your life - trust me! You develop a form of fatalism; you are always ready to die.

I have always looked on disobedience toward the oppressive as the only way to use the miracle of having been born.

How do you dare to ask me for a solution? It's like asking Seneca for a solution. You remember what he did? He committed suicide!

I've always disliked kamikazes, that is, people who commit suicide in order to kill others. Starting with the Japanese ones from World War II. I never considered them Pietro Miccas who torch the powder and go up with the citadel in order to block the arrival of the enemy troops at Torino. I never considered them soldiers.

The moment you give up your principles, and your values, you are dead, your culture is dead, your civilization is dead. Period.

Arafat contradicts himself every five minutes. He always plays the double-cross, lies even if you ask him what time it is.
