The all importance of clothes has sprung up in the intellect of the dandy without effort, like an instinct of genius; he is inspired with clothes, a poet of clothes. - Thomas Carlyle A six-foot suckling, mincing in its gait, Affected, peevish, prim and delicate; Fearful it seemed tho' of athletic make, Lest brutal breezes should so roughly shake Its tender form, and savage motion spread O'er its pale cheeks, the horrid manly red. - Charles Churchill So gentle, yet so brisk, so wondrous sweet, So fit to prattle at a lady's feet. - Charles Churchill In form so delicate, so soft his skin, So fair in feature, and so smooth his chin, Quite to unman him nothing wants but this; Put him in coats, and he's a very miss. - Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus) A fop who admires his person in a glass soon enters into a resolution of making his fortune by it, not questioning that every woman who falls in his way will do him as much justice as himself. - Thomas Hughes A fop takes great pains to hang out a sign, by his dress, of what he has within. - Samuel Richardson Their methods various, but alike their aim; the sloven and the fopling are the same. - Edward Young
