They always believe the worst.”
“He smelled the garden, the yellow shield of light smote his eyes, and he whispered, “Life is so beautiful.” … Yes, he thought, if I can die saying, “Life is so beautiful,” then nothing else is important.”
“The Don considered a use of threats the most foolish kind of exposure; the unleashing of anger without forethought as the most dangerous indulgence. No one had ever heard the Don utter a naked threat, no one had ever seen him in an uncontrollable rage. It was unthinkable.”
“None of us here want to see our children follow in our footsteps, it’s too hard a life.” “A man in my position can’t afford to be made to look ridiculous!” “treachery can’t be forgiven.” “Every man has one destiny.”

“Italians have a little joke, that the world is so hard a man must have two fathers to look after him, and that’s why they have godfathers.

He never asks a second favor where he has been refused the first.”

He would care for his children, his family, his world. But his children would grow in a different world. They would be doctors, artists, scientists. Governors. Presidents. Anything at all. He would see to it that they joined the general family of humanity, but he, as a powerful and prudent parent, would most certainly keep a wary eye on that general family.”
“All of these men were good listeners, patient men. They had one other thing in common. They were those rarities, men who had refused to accept the rule of organized society, men who refused the dominion of other men. There was no force, no mortal man who could bend them to their will unless they wished it. They were men who guarded their free will with wiles and murder. Their wills could be subverted only by death. Or the utmost reasonableness.”

“Kay could see how Michael stood to receive their homage. He reminded her of statues in Rome, statues of those Roman emperors of antiquity, who, by divine right, held the power of life and death over their fellow men. One hand was on his hip, the profile of his face showed a cold proud power, his body was carelessly, arrogantly at ease, weight resting on one foot slightly behind the other. The caporegimes stood before him. In that moment Kay knew that everything Connie had accused Michael of was true. She went back into the kitchen and wept.”
