Piece

Famous quotes containing the word piece:

This is of all flattery the most pleasing, and consequently the most effectual.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“One piece of good sense would be more memorable than a monument as high as the moon.”

—Bernardo Bertolucci (b. 1940)
