Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

    I’m good at embroidery. It’s what I always wanted to do.... Yep, instead of whoring, I just wanted to do fancy embroidery.
    Lillian Hellman (1905–1984)

    A symbol is indeed the only possible expression of some invisible essence, a transparent lamp about a spiritual flame; while allegory is one of many possible representations of an embodied thing, or familiar principle, and belongs to fancy and not to imagination: the one is a revelation, the other an amusement.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
