"They are people living in a dream, and they will hate everyone who wakes them up, even if you bring them the best gift in the world." Revolutionaries, speculators, powerful, middle-class, poor, in the era In the round dance, what turns boiled water into red wine is not love, but change.

Prince Don Fabrizio Salina: Do you think that if the Church could ever save herself by sacrificing us, she wouldn't do so? Of course she would, and rightly so.
Father Pirrone: You have two sins to confess on Saturday. One of the flesh last night, one of the spirit today.

Father Pirrone: The nobles, as you call them, are not easy to understand. They live in a world of their own, not created by God but by themselves, through centuries of experience, troubles and joys. They're upset or pleased about things that matter little to you and me - but are vital to them. I don't mean they're bad people. Far from it. They're... different. They take no notice of things that we hold important, and they have fears of which we're ignorant. For example, for the Prince of Salina, it would be a tragedy to give up his holiday at Donnafugata, where we're headed. But if you ask him what he thinks of the revolution, he will say there is no revolution and that everything will go on as before.
