Quote #4
[Now] he knew who had been killed at Donnafugata, at a hundred other places, in the course of that night of dirty wind: a newborn babe: good faith: just the very child who should have been cared for most. (3.36)
Fabrizio wants to be hopeful for the future of Sicily, but it's hard when he realizes that the vote for joining Italy has been rigged. Every time the poor guy has hope for the future, the world has a way of letting him down.
Quote #5
He sat down a little among them; there instead of the name of the Queen of Heaven being taken in vain, the air was turgid with commonplaces. (6.28)
Fabrizio is bored by all the aristocrats he tends to hang out with. It's not like he wants to go in the opposite direction and hang with a bunch of roughnecks, but things can get really boring when the only people you hang out with are too polite to ever say anything interesting.
Quote #6
Don Fabrizio sighed. When would she decide to give him an appointment less ephemeral, far from carcasses and blood, in her own region of perennial certitude? (6.76)
Whenever he needs true spiritual fulfillment, Fabrizio looks to the stars and asks for their guidance. This isn't the same thing as asking God for help, because The Prince could go to Father Pirrone for that. This is instead a more private type of faith that Fabrizio shows when he talks directly to the constellation of Venus, who never judges him the way that a Christian god would.
