Famous quotes containing the words masterpiece and/or brothers:

    You sold Marmaros to the Russians. Scurried away in the night and left us to die. Is it to be wondered at that you should choose this place to build your house? The masterpiece of construction, built upon the masterpiece of destruction, the masterpiece of murder. The murderer of ten thousand men returns to the place of his crime.
    Peter Ruric, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Edgar G. Ulmer. Dr. Vitus Werdegast (Bela Lugosi)

    It always seems to the brothers and the father that their brother or son didn’t marry the right person.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
