Some words from a film
So, I recently watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. In the middle of the film Willy Wonka, one of main characters, said "Where is fancy bred, in a heart or in a head?". Any of dictionaries didn't help me to get it totally. So what does it mean?
I'm sure many of natives here watched this movie :)

This quote uses the word "fancy" to mean imagination or fantasy. "Bred" is the past tense of "to breed," as in to reproduce.
Another way to say it is, "Where do the ideas that we imagine begin? Do they come from the heart, or from the head?"

Hi, I'm learning English too, but I think that I know the meaning of this sentence.
I believe that the sentence also could be written this way: "Where fantasy is created in a heart or in a head?"
Hope I have helped you.
