Whimsicality is a great sports-following trait, and highly undervalued.

From New York Times • Jun. 29, 2010

Whimsicality is a flower that defies transplanting; when once rooted in other soil it shoots up into obscurity, masquerading as profundity, or pure silliness without reason or a smile.

From Laurence Sterne in Germany A Contribution to the Study of the Literary Relations of England and Germany in the Eighteenth Century by Hewett-Thayer, Harvey W. (Harvey Waterman)

Whimsicality always seeks variety of emphasis and movement.

From Vocal Expression A Class-book of Voice Training and Interpretation by Everts, Katherine Jewell
