Quotes by John Dickie (?)

“Tutti colpevoli, nessuno colpevole,’ as the Italian saying has it: ‘If everyone is guilty, no one is guilty.”
― John Dickie, Cosa Nostra: The Definitive History of the Sicilian Mafia

6 likes

“French rule brought a whole series of innovations in the way the Kingdom was run. Out went feudalism, and in came private property. Out went a messy assemblage of local customs, baronial and church jurisdictions, and public ordinances: in came a new code of civil law and the beginnings of a police force. The southern part of the Italian peninsula began to resemble a modern, centralised state.”
― John Dickie, Blood Brotherhoods: A History of Italy's Three Mafias

“the mafia kills in the way a state does; it does not murder, it executes.”
