“Svi smo mi Sicilijanci isti. Previše smo velikodušni. Zato se oni severnjaci iz Rima tako ružno koriste o nas.”
—Sicilijanac, Mario Puzo
“Don Kroče se nasmeja; beše to kratak, mehanički smeh. „Ko će Siciliju razumeti?”
—Sicilijanac, Mario Puzo
“Palermo je smešten u podnožju kratera ugašenog vulkana, sa tri strane okružen planinama. Sa četvrte strane ima izlaz u zasenjujuće plavetnilo Sredozemnog mora. Kad
ga je Majki na časak osmotrio, grad je treperio pod zlaćanim zracima sicilijanskog podnevnog sunca. Tlom su se širile žile izatkane od crvenog svetla, kao da ocrtavaju tragove krvi, na Siciliji vekovima besomučno prolivane. Zlatni zraci kupali su mermerne stubove grčkih hramova, muslimanske minarete što hitaju ka nebesima, izdašno ukrašene fasade španskih katedrala; na brdu preko puta mrštile su se ruševine drevnog normanskog zamka. Sve su to bili ostaci raznih okrutnih vojski koje su vladale Sicilijom od davnina. A iza zidina tog zamka, kupaste planine sezale su ka nebu kao da će ga ščepati i strgnuti sa visina, pa se činilo kao da i zemlja i nebo samo što nisu pali na kolena i zdrobili pod sobom tu osunčanu naseobinu. Visoko gore, bezbrojni, sićušni crveni jastrebovi šarali su blistavoplavi svod.” —Sicilijanac, Mario Puzo

—The Godfather
“Bonasera: ‘I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family. She found a boyfriend; not an Italian. She went to the movies with him; she stayed out late. I didn’t protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive, with another boyfriend. They made her drink whiskey. And then they tried to take advantage of her. She resisted. She kept her honor. So they beat her, like an animal. When I went to the hospital, her nose was a’broken. Her jaw was a’shattered, held together by wire. She couldn’t even weep because of the pain. But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life, a beautiful girl. Now she will never be beautiful again. I went to the police, like a good American. These two boys were brought to trial. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison – suspended sentence. Suspended sentence! They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool. And those two bastards, they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, for justice, we must go to Don Corleone.’”
—The Godfather
“Michael Corleone: ‘Never hate your enemies. It clouds your judgment.’”

Bam bam bam it's trekking timeeeeee
“Ima ljudi čiji je život trag u vodi. Nevidljivi su, nečujni, nestvarni, bez otisaka u peščanoj pustinji čovečnosti. Ne znamo odakle su među nas došli, a kad odu, zašto su i kuda otišli. Dok su bogovi zemljom grmeli, tako smo ih prepoznavali. Kad nas napustiše, od njihove moći ljudi naslediše jedino sposobnost da žive, ali ne da budu.”
—Ivo Andrić (via laalchemista)
Milana is probably coming home from hospital! :)
“Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers. You just breathe deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed, but sometimes the pain gets you when you least expect it, hits way below the belt and doesn’t let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can’t outrun it, and life always makes more.”
