Well. We’re well and truly screwed now.

You’re not like them. You’re my McSailor.”A soft touch made him smile, thinking of Bonnie, before he realized it was Innochka’s hand stroking his face. The touch of a mobster’s girlfriend. He leaped back, still...

DON’T!” he snapped, grabbing the sides of her face.

How many times do I have to tell you? We are not gangsters!

I spent much of my prison time reading. I must have read over 200 large books, mostly fictional stories about the American pioneers, the Vikings, Mafia, etc. As long as I was engrossed in a...

If the bulk of the public were really convinced of the illegitimacy of the State, if it were convinced that the State is nothing more nor less than a bandit gang writ large, then the...

Mmmmmnobaconeggsgottagostore…” She slowly ran her hand down his forearm and gave him a sleepy smile as she sat up. Her eyes remained closed as she rested her hand on his shoulder and before he could...

Never dilute vodka. Is sin.

Don’t you have a puppy to go kick?” Alessandro asked, his brother’s voice grating on his already stretched nerves.

What makes anyone think that government officials are even trying to protect us? A government is not analogous to a hired security guard. Governments do not come into existence as social service organizations or as...

Italian-Americans are not the Mafia.

In particular, the State has arrogated to itself a compulsory monopoly over police and military services, the provision of law, judicial decision-making, the mint and the power to create money, unused land (“the public domain”),...

Handsome. Handsome. Better?

The Russians are on the radar. It’s time.”As Bounter turned to pick up the tiny button-size microphone, Grant clenched his hands into fists, his anticipation building.It’s time.

Forgive me, darling. Old habits.” Bree rolled her eyes, but she was grateful for the brief, light moment. It allowed her to regroup and focus, to lift her head from the haze of panic that...

I put fear into the eyes of a member of the Mafia. I’m doing well, she thought, now keep him scared.

The Communist Party apparatus was the most gigantic mafia the world has ever known.

The very term ‘public utility’ … is an absurd one. Every good is useful ‘to the public,’ and almost every good … may be considered ‘necessary.’ Any designation of a few industries as ‘public utilities’...

They stared at each other, and Alessandro seriously considered turning away from his father’s wishes and just taking this woman and running off somewhere with her. He could imagine being happy with her. He felt...

In the end… he would choose Campisi.In the end… she would choose Abandonato.In the end… there would be bloodshed.

What happened?” She rushed towards them, coughing as she grabbed for her son. He shifted his weight to hand him over to her, but the movement sent another bolt of screaming pain from his ankle...

I thought of how proud he was when he took the marks- cutting the skin of his throat in a long slash and then packing it with ashes until keloid scars rose up.He called it...

There are two and only two ways that any economy can be organized. One is by freedom and voluntary choice—the way of the market. The other is by force and dictation—the way of the State.

He’s lying to me, Bree thought. I don’t know how I know, but I do. And really, wasn’t it better if she didn’t know for sure? Bree moved closer to him and pressed her mouth...

The world, viewed philosophically, remains a series of slave camps, where citizens – tax livestock – labor under the chains of illusion in the service of their masters.

N’importe quel groupe de scélérats, pourvu qu’ils aient assez d’argent pour l’entreprendre, peuvent décider qu’ils sont un gouvernement; car, pourvu qu’ils aient de l’argent, ils peuvent engager des soldats, et utiliser ces soldats pour extorquer...

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that...

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

Alessandro gathered her into his arms and flipped her over so that she was on top of him, her blonde hair falling over him like a gold curtain. The strands tickled his face as she...

A group of politicians deciding to dump a President because his morals are bad is like the Mafia getting together to bump off the Godfather for not going to church on Sunday.

The same liberty that protects me also protects members of the Mafia.

Le fait est que le gouvernement, comme un bandit de grand chemin, dit à un individu: “La bourse ou la vie.” Quantité de taxes, ou même la plupart, sont payées sous la contrainte d’une telle...

He’s good, Sal.” Always the family questions first. That was Sal Demenci’s style. He could be about to whack someone and he’d ask how the guy’s sister was doing in school.

God seemed to be having a hard time killing him, and he’d be damned if he was going to make the job easy for mere mortals

Last night, Bree had been taken. Thoroughly, utterly taken. Gently or roughly, it didn’t matter. This man had reached into the darkest part of her mind, had brought out and laid bare the desires she...

I want to kill this degenerate bastard brother of yours. But I am not selfish, I do not want to deprive you of that honor.

Are they Russian by way of the Ozarks?

Comme l’impôt est obligatoire pour tous, qu’ils votent ou non, une large proportion de ceux qui votent le font sans aucun doute pour éviter que leur propre argent ne soit utilisé contre eux; alors que,...

I’ve already got protection.” Then I showed him how I wear a rubber glove over my penis, with my shaft sliding perfectly in the pinky finger slot.

The other Dons in the room applauded and rose to shake hands with everybody in sight and to congratulate Don Corleone and Don Tattaglia on their new friendship. It was not perhaps the warmest friendship...

Lies. All lies. Bree was shaking so hard she bit her tongue, but she didn’t even feel the blood in her mouth. Kill her husband and seduce the widow. She thought she’d never felt as...

that you’re going to not just scream my name, but forget yours.

Guilt makes people do the weirdest things. It must be awful to have a conscience.

The IRS! They’re like the Mafia, they can take anything they want!

Some wise guys came by my business establishment and tried to offer me neighborhood protection. They weren’t mafia, but they were wearing togas.

Never show anger at slight,Tell nothing.Earn Respect from everyone by deeds,not Words.Respect the members of your Blood Family.Gambling was Recreation,Not a way to earn a Living.Love your Father,your Mother,your Sister but beware of Loving any...

And I want you naked screaming my name, now that you know it,” Alessandro growled, leaning in so that his breath brushed across her face in a tantalizing caress.

I didn’t marry the mob; I was born into it.

We assassinate. We don’t accessorize. But I understand how it is possible to confuse the two.
