Fancy Cancels

Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or cancels:

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

“Adultery is the vice of equivocation.
It is not marriage but a mockery of it, a merging that mixes love and dread together like jackstraws. There is no understanding of contentment in adultery.... You belong to each other in what together you’ve made of a third identity that almost immediately cancels your own. There is a law in art that proves it. Two colors are proven complimentary only when forming that most desolate of all colors—neutral gray.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
