More From Mario Puzo

If you look at coastlines, if you look at that them from far away, from an airplane, well, you don't see details, you see a certain complication. when you come closer, the complication becomes more local, but again continues. and come closer and closer and closer, the coastline becomes longer and longer and longer because it has more detail entering in.

I think my life has been a long, slow process of trying to move closer and closer to the spirit by moving closer and closer to the heart. the heart is what's important.
Moving Heart Thinking
Worse than thieves, murderers, or cannibals, those who offer compromise slow you and sap your vitality while pretending to be your friends. they are not your friends. compromisers are the enemies of all humanity, the enemies of life itself. compromisers are the enemies of everything important, sacred, and true.
Humanity Enemy Important
At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. so this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull. so we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. no matter how much we hurt them. the people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. and sure, sometimes close can be too close. but sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.
Hurt Distance Space
Friends can be incredible sometimes, but have you ever had a friend that can be really annoying or really mean to you? friends shouldn't stab you in the back. have you ever wondered if your friend has ever said stuff about you to their other friends? it gets pretty intimidating sometimes to think about that. what i'm saying is to find your friends that are real. don't keep the ones that are fake and are just friends with you for what you have. be strong. don't take no for an answer. never back down. stand up for what you believe in. friends are great to have, but just be cautious. (.
Strong Real Believe
They say that when god was in jerusalem he forgave his murderers, but now he will not forgive an honest man for differing with him on the subject of the trinity. they say that god says to me, "forgive your enemies." i say, "i do;" but he says, "i will damn mine." god should be consistent. if he wants me to forgive my enemies he should forgive his. i am asked to forgive enemies who can hurt me. god is only asked to forgive enemies who cannot hurt him. he certainly ought to be as generous as he asks us to be.

The pain of being alone is completely out of this world, isn't it? i don't know why, but i understand your feelings so much, it actually hurts.
Hurt Pain Loneliness
Poor people have few choices in life, and most of the time you don't think too much about it. you get the best you can and do without when necessary, and hope to god you won't be wiped out by something you can't control. but there are moments it hurts, where there is something you want in the very marrow of your bones and you know there is no way you can have it.

When you give up vengeance, make sure you are not giving up on justice. the line between the two is faint, unsteady, and fine...vengeance is our own pleasure of seeing someone who hurt us getting it back and then some. justice, on the other hand, is secure when someone pays a fair penalty for wronging another even if the injured person takes no pleasure in the transaction. vengeance is personal satisfaction. justice is moral accounting...human forgiveness does not do away with human justice.
