Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

    We fancy men are individuals; so are pumpkins; but every pumpkin in the field, goes through every point of pumpkin history.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    They’re fancy talkers about themselves, writers. If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don’t listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.
    Lillian Hellman (1905–1984)

    And Change with hurried hand has swept these scenes:
    The woods have fallen, across the meadow-lot
    The hunter’s trail and trap-path is forgot,
    And fire has drunk the swamps of evergreens;
    Yet for a moment let my fancy plant
    These autumn hills again: the wild dove’s haunt,
    The wild deer’s walk: in golden umbrage shut,
    Frederick Goddard Tuckerman (1821–1873)
