Rope Web

Famous quotes containing the words rope and/or web:

“Mankind is a rope tied between beast and superman—a rope over an abyss.”
—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)
