Famous quotes containing the words bid and/or suit:

    “O tiger’s heart wrapped in a woman’s hide!
    How couldst thou drain the lifeblood of the child,
    To bid the father wipe his eyes withal,
    And yet be seen to bear a woman’s face?
    Women are soft, mild, pitiful, and flexible;
    Thou stern, obdurate, flinty, rough, remorseless.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Class isn’t something you buy. Look at you. You have a $500 suit on and you’re still a lowlife.”
    —Roger Spottiswoode, U.S. screenwriter, Walter Hill, and Larry Gross. Jack Cates (Nick Nolte)
