"I have a sentimental weakness for my children, and I spoil them as you can see. They talk when they should listen."
— Vito Corleone
I Have A Sentimental Weakness For
I have a sentimental weakness for my children, and I spoil them as you can see. They talk when they should listen.
About this quote
Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) speaks this line at his daughter Connie's wedding in The Godfather (1972), directed by Francis Ford Coppola, based on Mario Puzo's novel. It is a rare moment of self-aware vulnerability from a man whose power depends on projecting strength. His admission that he indulges his children is framed as a flaw, yet it also reveals why family is both his greatest loyalty and his fatal weakness.
