Premiering in 2011, the American TV series Suits gave us a lot of things to fan over. The chemistry between the main characters Harvey Specter and Mike Ross, interesting cases, witty comebacks, reasons to like or dislike the Duchess of Sussex before it was even cool… While all of the main characters were well-written, Harvey from Suits is often the first that comes to mind when you think about this show.  

Harvey Specter is far from being your typical righteous hero. Some of his actions and decisions, and a lot of his relationships with people, are questionable at best, and often borderline offensive. And yet, he is not your typical antihero either.   

Many of the Suits characters have said clever, funny, or sarcastic things that could be easily turned into a quote. But Harvey’s quotes are usually the ones that stick with you the most, in many ways thanks to the charm Gabriel Macht infused his character with.  

Scroll down for a whole bunch of Harvey Specter quotes that will make you want to watch Suits again. Have you ever had a situation in your life where you had a chance to use any of the Suits quotes?
