Oriana is dood

You’ve got to get old, because you have nothing to lose, she said over lunch that afternoon. You have this respectability that is given to you, more or less. But you don’t give a damn. It is the ne plus ultra of freedom. And things that I didn’t used to say beforeyou know, there is in each of us a form of timidity, of cautiousnessnow I open my big mouth. I say, What are you going to do to me? You go fuck yourselfI say what I want.’
Typerende passage uit een mooi portret in The New Yorker van Oriana Fallaci, die vannacht overleed in Florence.
