Mario PuzoI have no such powers. If I did I would be more merciful than God, believe me.
About This Quote
If I had the power to destroy everyone who has ever wronged you, to ignore all of your past hurts and to make you happy, I would do it. But, I don’t have that power. So instead I will make you think about why you are angry with me. I will make you think about what you’ve done to deserve such a fate as punishment for the mistakes of someone else or as a way to punish yourself. You will think about what you’ve done wrong and feel the agony of every moment spent angry. As for now, it is my greatest pleasure to see your pain.
