Famous quotes containing the words coin and/or flip:
“It is not funny that a man should be killed, but it is sometimes funny that he should be killed for so little, and that his death should be the coin of what we call civilization.”
—Raymond Chandler (18881959)
“By act of Congress, male officers are gentlemen, but by act of God, we are ladies. We dont have to be little mini-men and try to be masculine and use obscene language to come across. I can take you and flip you on the floor and put your arms behind your back and youll never move again, without your ever knowing that I can do it.”
—Sherian Grace Cadoria (b. 1940)
