“How do you lose a case where there are two dead children?”
William Friedkin

“Like many, I feel the disconnect between the barefoot carpenter who preached on hillsides and the papal aristocracy; between the man who ate, slept, and taught in the desert and the man who takes his meals from fine china and silver in the majesty of the Vatican and controls billions of dollars’ worth of real estate and banks.”
William Friedkin, The Friedkin Connection: A Memoir
