Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

    We take a fancy to something: and scarcely have we thoroughly taken a fancy to it when that tyrant in us calls out: “Give me that in sacrifice”—and we give it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. I would rather ride on earth in an ox cart, with a free circulation, than go to heaven in the fancy car of an excursion train and breathe a malaria all the way.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Lord’s lost Him His mockingbird,
    His fancy warbler;
    Satan sweet-talked her,
    four bullets hushed her.
    Who would have thought
    she’d end that way?
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
