Famous quotes containing the word fancy:
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (17431826)
“Theyre fancy talkers about themselves, writers. If I had to give young writers advice, I would say dont listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.”
—Lillian Hellman (19051984)
“Lords lost Him His mockingbird,
His fancy warbler;
Satan sweet-talked her,
four bullets hushed her.
Who would have thought
shed end that way?”
—Robert Earl Hayden (19131980)
