“The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.”

“The spider spinning his web for the unwary fly. The blood is the life, Mr. Renfield.”

“I came from a family of repairers. The spider is a repairer. If you bash into the web of a spider, she doesn't get mad. She weaves and repairs it.”

“Heavenly bodies are nests of invisible birds.”

“Narcissists, however, are similar to a spider that has built a web for its prey to bring itself.”

“Never look for birds of this year in the nests of the last.”

“It [the book] was spinning a magic spell around her heart, sticky as a spider's web and enchantingly beautiful..”

“Thanks for this day, for all birds safe in their nests, for whatever this is, for life.”

“A bird is safe in its nest - but that is not what its wings are made for.”

“There webs were spread of more than common size,
And half-starved spiders prey’d on half-starved flies.”
