Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

    It is engend’red in the eyes,
    With gazing fed; and fancy dies
    In the cradle where it lies.

    I’ll begin it—Ding, dong, bell.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I went out alone
    To sing a song or two,
    My fancy on a man,
    And you know who.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The fancy that extraterrestrial life is by definition of a higher order than our own is one that soothes all children, and many writers.
    Joan Didion (b. 1934)
