-Uncle Ben to Peter Parker, a.k.a. Spider-Man
Okay, that quote doesn't really have anything to do with spider webs. But here are a few more that do:“In the spider-web of facts, many a truth is strangled.”
-Paul Eldridge
“Words are like the spider's web: a shelter for the clever ones and a trap for the not-so-clever.”
-Malagasy Proverb
“Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.”
-Henry James
“Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.”
-Virginia Woolf
“Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!”
-Sir Walter Scott
And perhaps my favorite, from St. Felix of Nola:
“Where God is, a spider's web is a wall. And where He isn't, a wall is but a spider's web.”
