Rope Web

Famous quotes containing the words rope and/or web:

“There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“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)
