"The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.”

Pablo Picasso

"The means to gain happiness is to throw out from oneself like a spider in all directions an adhesive web of love, and to catch in it all that comes”

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

"There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: / The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; / The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; / The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; / The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.”

Bible quotes

"Touch but a cobweb in Westminster Hall, and the old spider of the law is out upon you with all his vermin at his heels”

Henry Fox

"So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish: / Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.”

A Noiseless Patient Spider

A noiseless patient spider,
I marked where on a promontory it stood isolated,
Marked how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launched forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be formed, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.


Walt Whitman
