Famous quotes containing the words fancy, pants and/or man:
“The fancy that extraterrestrial life is by definition of a higher order than our own is one that soothes all children, and many writers.”

“And girls you have to tell to pull their socks up
Are those whose pants you’d most like to pull down.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a Christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. Honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
