Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

    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)

    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)
