Mario Puzo: Man

“Oh, what a wicked world it is that drives a man to sin.”

“Do you believe a man can truly love a woman and constantly betray her? Never mind physically but betray her in his mind, in the very "poetry of his soul". Well, it's not easy but men do it all the time.”

“A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.”

“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'd always been a man who followed his head and not his heart. The heart was just a bloody motor. The head was meant to drive”

“You can't hide the thunderbolt. When it hits you, everybody can see it. Christ, man, don't be ashamed of it, some men pray for the thunderbolt. You're a very lucky fellow. - Calo”

“He should be careful. It's dangerous to be an honest man.”

“Every man has but one destiny" Veto Corleone”

“Any man can turn traitor.”

“And in that fraction of a second before anything actually happened, Santino Corleone knew he was a dead man.”
