Planet Spider

Famous quotes containing the words planet and/or spider:

    “Could it not be that just at the moment masculinity has brought us to the brink of nuclear destruction or ecological suicide, women are beginning to rise in response to the Mother’s call to save her planet and create instead the next stage of evolution? Can our revolution mean anything else than the reversion of social and economic control to Her representatives among Womankind, and the resumption of Her worship on the face of the Earth? Do we dare demand less?”
    —Jane Alpert (b. 1947)

    ““Will you walk into my parlor?” said the spider to the fly;
    “‘Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy.
    The way into my parlor is up a winding stair,
    And I have many pretty things to show when you are there.””
    —Mary Howitt (1799–1888)
