Famous quotes containing the words yen and/or coin:
“Diamond, the only trouble with you is youd like to be me. Youd like to have my organization, my influence, my fix. You cant; thats impossible. You think its money; its not. Its personality. You havent got it, Lieutenant. Youre a cop. Slow. Steady. Intelligent. With a bad temper, and a gun under your arm. And with a big yen for a girl he cant have. First is first, and second is nobody.”
—Philip Yordan (b. 1913)
“Any language is necessarily a finite system applied with different degrees of creativity to an infinite variety of situations, and most of the words and phrases we use are prefabricated in the sense that we dont coin new ones every time we speak.”
—David Lodge (b. 1935)
