Mario Puzo Quote

Brasi left the room. Two of his men assisted the midwife and the baby was born, the mother was exhausted and went into a deep sleep. Brasi was summoned and Filomena, who had wrapped the newborn child in an extra blanket, extended the bundle to him and said, If you’re the father, take her. My work is finished. Brasi glared at her, malevolent, insanity stamped on his face. Yes, I’m the father, he said. But I don’t want any of that race to live. Take it down to the basement and throw it into the furnace.
