Suits Quote by Ken Follett
““You're the one who doesn't understand," Lev said. "In America, I have my own car. There's more food than you can eat, all the booze I want, all the cigarettes I can smoke. I have five suits!" "What's the point in having five suits?" Grigori said in frustration. "It's like having five beds. You can only use one at a time!””
