“I am interested in telling my particular truth as I have seen it.”
Quoted in her obituary in The Guardian (7 December 2000)

Io parlo per ver dire,
non per odio d'altrui, né per disprezzo.

Variant: I’ve had enough of someone else’s propaganda… I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I’m a human being first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.
