Famous quotes containing the word fancy:
“I went out alone
To sing a song or two,
My fancy on a man,
And you know who.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Life is a game in which the rules are constantly changing; nothing spoils a game more than those who take it seriously. Adultery? Phooey! You should never subjugate yourself to another nor seek the subjugation of someone else to yourself. If you follow that Crispian principle you will be able to say “Phooey,” too, instead of reaching for your gun when you fancy yourself betrayed.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
