Famous quotes containing the word fancy:
“After I went to bed I had a curious fancy as to dreams. In sleep the doors of the mind are shut, and thoughts come jumping in at the windows. They tumble headlong, and therefore are so disorderly and strange. Sometimes they are stout and light on their feet, and then they are rational dreams.”
—James Boswell (17401795)
“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)
“I went out alone
To sing a song or two,
My fancy on a man,
And you know who.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
