Relationship With Uncle
Scarfo dictated to his nephew how to dress and what jewelery to wear. He forbade him and the other mob associates from wearing cologne on the grounds that it was effeminate.
Scarfo criticized Phil continually for even the most inoffensive behavior in front of everyone who worked for him like Nick Caramandi and Francis Ianarella. Scarfo used to carry mint candies in his Cadillac. If there weren't any, he'd make Philip, who was usually his driver, stop at the first candy store they came across and run in and buy some. He also complained to no end about the way Phil drove. "Easy on the brakes", he'd say, and demand that every time he entered the car that the gas tank would be full so they would not have to stop and fill up on gas on their way to an important meeting.

“Henry David Thoreau, who never earned much of a living or sustained a relationship with any woman that wasn’t brotherly—who lived mostly under his parents’ roof ... who advocated one day’s work and six days “off” as the weekly round and was considered a bit of a fool in his hometown ... is probably the American writer who tells us best how to live comfortably with our most constant companion, ourselves.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
“Artists have a double relationship towards nature: they are her master and her slave at the same time. They are her slave in so far as they must work with means of this world so as to be understood; her master in so far as they subject these means to their higher goals and make them subservient to them.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“If Uncle Sam should ever sell that tract for one cent per acre, he will swindle the purchaser outrageously.”
