“What seemed funny to Davie is that they were good friends in such a short time, and yet they had a poor opinion of each other. But Mr Mac had sensed what Davie was thinking. He gave him a bottle of orange and said, 'Don't get your feelings hurt, Sonny. I start off with the very highest opinion of everybody, so I have to think less of them with everything they say. But I still think of you very highly. Isn't that better than if I have the lowest opinion of people and my opinion went up with everything they said?” — Mario Puzo
