Summary: Quotations from Leader Sigismondo Falzon, popularly known as the "Little Orange Book," is a collection of quotes and speeches delivered by Cildanian former Deputy Prime Minister Sigismondo Falzon. The book was initially produced and published by the Federazzjoni Ġenerali tax-Xogħol (General Labour Federation) as a form of satire and critique, amidst a resurgence of interest in the iconic political figure. In time, however, the book would become popular among fans and supporters of Falzon.

Notable Quotations:

Falzon, on misogyny in contemporary politics:

You think you can f--king threaten one of my girls, you filthy c--ksucker? We can't go around treatin' women like f--kin' objects. That's not how a f--kin' boss conducts himself. Now, I ain't no professor or nothin', but that's some f--kin' toxic masculinity sh-t, and we need to f--kin' address it. No more degradin' comments or this objectifyin' yadda-yadda. And certainly no threatening to kill a f--kin' defenceless dame!

Falzon, on Guiliano Alagona in 5323:

Don’t let his pretty face fool you! Guili is tough as nails! I cannot tell you how many times, during particularly tense negotiations, that I’ve wanted to wrap my hands around that slender neck and watch the life drain from his face!

Falzon, on antiyeudism and religious freedom:

Listen, I'm glad I got the government off its tookus, but these measures, I mean, c'mon! Right after their synagogue was bombed, you're going to send in the troops to place the Yeudi community under martial law? It's ridiculous! Y'know, we were once a nation of religious freedom—but not under this government's watch! It wasn't the Yeudis who blew their own rabbi sky high, it was the antiyeudi thugs who have been inspired and strengthened over the years by Franġi's coalition partners' willingness to dabble in such disgusting ideas.

Falzon, on Margerita Giudice, Leader of One Flag, and the normalization of fascism:

And here I thought Margerita was this vivacious, ravishing woman—which she still is, ok? I can't take that from her—but f-ck me, is she ever dirty? All of us who were engaged in the democracy struggle, we had one f-cking big, thick, hard red line: we won't make deals with the fascists. Now look what she's gone and done! And don't get me started on Little Piscopo Jr. This pair... they have royally f-cked our democratic system!

Falzon, on drag performers and crossdressers:

Listen, you do you, I'll do me, and together we'll live in harmony. To me, these are some real freaks and weirdos—but if bein' a freak or a weirdo was a crime, Little Piscopo would have been locked up long ago!

Falzon, in commemoration of the Qart Qildar Synagogue bombing:

If one of these dirty motherf-ckers tries something again, you have my word as a man that I will braid their hair into my f-ckin' bathmat so I can stand on their ugly f-ckin' faces and piss down their throats until they drown! It's inexcusable that there have been no arrests—the person responsible for this beastly act needs to be pulled out of the hole they're hiding in, hogtied, and dragged behind a f-ckin' police cruiser until they get to the headquarters of the goddamned Civil Guard! Lock them up and throw away the key!
