"I didn't have the guts to be a criminal so I became a writer instead." --- Author Mario Puzzo, of "The Godfather" series.
It is interesting to note that the word "Godfather" wasn't used by Italian families or the mafia until AFTER Puzzo used it in his books. Puzzo grew up in an illiterate family who viewed his library card with horror and disdain.
The phrase "make him an offer he can't refuse." came into play after the Godfather, again one of Puzzo's creations in his mafia-family saga.
