Suit Worn

Famous quotes containing the words suit and/or worn:

    Adriana. With what persuasion did he tempt thy love?
    Luciana. With words that in an honest suit might move.
    First he did praise my beauty, then my speech.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When the first-rate author wants an exquisite heroine or a lovely morning, he finds that all the superlatives have been worn shoddy by his inferiors. It should be a rule that bad writers must start with plain heroines and ordinary mornings, and, if they are able, work up to something better.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
