Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

    You beat your pate, and fancy wit will come:
    Knock as you please, there’s nobody at home.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    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)

    When I was one-and-twenty
    I heard a wise man say,
    “Give crowns and pounds and guineas
    But not your heart away;
    Give pearls away and rubies,
    But keep your fancy free.”
    But I was one-and-twenty,
    No use to talk to me.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
