More From Oriana Fallaci

Sometimes when i'm alone i cry, cause i am on my own. the tears i cry are bitter and warm. they flow with life but take no form i cry because my heart is torn. i find it difficult to carry on. if i had an ear to confide in, i would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. the world moves fast and it would rather pass by. then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. and sometimes... i cry and no one cares about why.

Sometimes i'd wake up at two or three in the morning and not be able to fall asleep again. i'd get out of bed, go to the kitchen, and pour myself a whiskey. glass in hand, i'd look down at the darkened cemetary across teh way and the headlights of the cars on the road. the moments of time linking night and dawn were long and dark. if i could cry, it might make things easier. but what would i cry over? i was too self centered to cry for other people, too old to cry for myself.

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
The politics of personal destruction, the politics of division, the politics of fear, it's all there. it helps you to define the politics of moderation - the politics of democratic respect, the politics of hope - more clearly.

Now are the days, of humblest prayer, when consciences to god lie bare, and mercy most delights to spare. oh hearken when we cry. now is the season, wisely long, of sadder thought and graver song, when ailing souls grow well and strong. oh hearken when we cry. the feast of penance! oh so bright, with true conversion's heavenly light, like sunrise after stormy night! oh hearken when we cry. oh happy time of blessed tears, of surer hopes, of chast'ning fears, undoing all our evil years. oh hearken when we cry. chastise us with thy fear; yet, father! in the multitude of thy compassions, hear!

I grew up listening to a lot of player-piano music in my house and a lot of old tin pan alley songs and american standards. my dad listened to a lot of traditional irish music and i grew up doing musical theater. so most of the music i was exposed to as a kid was pre-rock n' roll.
