Lea Padovani: Giuseppe's Mother
Quotes
-
Mother : Your father was a wonderful man to love - but not to live with.
-
Mother : They have thrown you out. They don't want you back because you are an idiot. You have been nothing but trouble since the day you got there - since the day you were born! What have you done this time? Tell me. Answer!
Mother : I broke a statue.
Mother : For breaking a little statue they throw you out like a dog?
Giuseppe : It wasn't little, it was big.
-
Mother : Giuseppe, Giuseppe. Do you think I kept you in school all these years for this piece of paper? Do you think it didn't break my heart to see you, a grown man, among school boys? But at least I knew where you were, a place to go every day where the Sisters could look after you. Now - what will I do with you? What will you do with yourself?
