Famous quotes containing the word fancy:
“You beat your pate, and fancy wit will come:
Knock as you please, there’s nobody at home.”

“If I a fancy take
To black and blue,
That fancy doth it beauty make.”
—Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)
“Ah, I fancy it is just the same with most of what you call your “emancipation.” You have read yourself into a number of new ideas and opinions. You have got a sort of smattering of recent discoveries in various fields—discoveries that seem to overthrow certain principles which have hitherto been held impregnable and unassailable. But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West—superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
