Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

    I feel sure that he never had an impure fancy in his mind, or a faulty wish in his heart. His tenderness has surpassed the tenderness of woman; and yet when an occasion came for showing it, had all the spirit of a hero.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    It is engend’red in the eyes,
    With gazing fed; and fancy dies
    In the cradle where it lies.
    Let us all ring fancy’s knell.
    I’ll begin it—Ding, dong, bell.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    You beat your pate, and fancy wit will come:
    Knock as you please, there’s nobody at home.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
