Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

    If I a fancy take
    To black and blue,
    That fancy doth it beauty make.
    Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)

    For poetry, he’s past his prime,
    He takes an hour to find a rhyme;
    His fire is out, his wit decayed,
    His fancy sunk, his muse a jade.
    I’d have him throw away his pen,
    But there’s no talking to some men.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    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)
