Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or mice:
“But that wasnt fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
people they say Oh yes, theyre the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
—Ogden Nash (19021971)
“It is as when a migrating army of mice girdles a forest of pines. The chopper fells trees from the same motive that the mouse gnaws them,to get his living. You tell me that he has a more interesting family than the mouse. That is as it happens.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
