Famous quotes containing the words spiders and/or wandering:

    “Only the rich remember the past,
    The strawberries once in the Apennines,
    Philadelphia that the spiders ate.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “There is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream, a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
