“I decided that I would be one of the biggest new names; and I actually had some little fancy business cards printed up to announce it, "Count Basie. Beware, the Count is Here."”
Count Basie
“To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason?”
William Blake
“TEDIUM, n. Ennui, the state or condition of one that is bored. Many fanciful derivations of the word have been affirmed, but so high an authority as Father Jape says that it comes from a very obvious source --the first words of the ancient Latin hymn _Te Deum Laudamus_. In this apparently natural derivation there is something that saddens.”
Ambrose Bierce
“No one can penetrate me, They only see what's in their own fancy, always”
Ray Davies
“One thing we have learned from doing these things is not to get too fancy with the channel designs. Once the water starts flowing, it usually has its own ideas on where to go.”
Thomas Ardito
“Joshi is one of the best brewers in the United States, ... His beer tastes like one of our fancy $15-a-bottle beers.”
