Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

    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)

    You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle looks like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
