Tom, don't let anybody kid you. It's all personal, every bit of business. Every piece of shit every man has to eat every day of his life is personal. They call it business. OK. But it's personal as hell. You know where I learned that from? The Don. My old man. The Godfather. If a bolt of lightning hit a friend of his the old man would take it personal. He took my going into the Marines personal. That's what makes him great. The Great Don. He takes everything personal Like God. He knows every feather that falls from the tail of a sparrow or however the hell it goes? Right? And you know something? Accidents don't happen to people who take accidents as a personal insult. Micheal Corleone --Behind every successful fortune,there is a crime. from the Godfather. 2 Likes |

“ Gatsby believed in the green light,
the orgastic future that year by year
recedes before us. It eluded us then,
but that's no matter--tomorrow we
will run faster, stretch out our arms
farther.... And one fine morning-- So
we beat on, boats against the
current, borne back ceaselessly into
the past.
