Famous quotes containing the word edgar:

    “Come Vitus, are we men, or are we children? Of what use are all these melodramatic gestures? You say your soul was killed, and that you have been dead all these years. And what of me? Did we not both die here in Marmaros fifteen years ago? Are we any the less victims of the war than those whose bodies were torn asunder? Are we not both the living dead?”
    —Peter Ruric, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Hjalmar Poelzig (Boris Karloff)
