Fancy Free

Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or free:

    For poetry, he’s past his prime,
    He takes an hour to find a rhyme;
    His fire is out, his wit decayed,
    His fancy sunk, his muse a jade.
    I’d have him throw away his pen,
    But there’s no talking to some men.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    There are some who praise a man free from disease; to me no man who is poor seems free from disease but to be constantly sick.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
