Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or mice:
“Tell me where is fancy bred,
Or in the heart or in the head?
How begot, how nourished?
Reply, reply.
It is engendered in the eyes,
With gazing fed, and fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies.
Let us all ring fancy’s knell.
I’ll begin it. Ding, dong, bell.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“For something is amiss or out of place
When mice with wings can wear a human face.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
