Memorable quotes from A Bronx Tale

"Sometimes in the heat of passion, the little head tells the big head what to do, and the big head should think twice about what you are doing."
"Mickey Mantle? Is that what you're upset about? Mickey Mantle makes $100,000 a year. How much does your father make? You don't know? Well, see, if your father can't pay the rent, go ask Mickey Mantle and see what he tells you. Mickey Mantle don't care about you, so why should you care about him? Nobody cares."
"It was great to be Catholic and go to confession. You could start over every week."
I was getting two educations
"One from the street and one from school. That way I'd be twice as smart as everybody."
"Priest: Don't be afraid, my son. No one is more powerful than God."
"Calogero: I don't know about that, Father. Your guy may be bigger than my guy up there, but my guy is bigger than your guy down here."
"Lorenzo: You don't see me going to the bar, do you?"
"Calogero: Mommy won't let you go there either?"
