Famous quotes containing the words rope and/or web:

“Immortality without eternity is a rope with only one end.”
—Multatuli [Eduard Douwer Dekker] (1820–1887)

“Thou blind man’s mark, thou fool’s self-chosen snare,
Fond Fancy’s scum and dregs of scattered thought,
Band of all evils, cradle of causeless care,
Thou web of will whose end is never wrought;
Desire! desire, I have too dearly bought
With price of mangled mind thy worthless ware;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
