Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

“I consider it useless and tedious to represent what exists, because nothing that exists satisfies me. Nature is ugly, and I prefer the monsters of my fancy to what is positively trivial.”

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

“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)
