Famous quotes containing the words web and/or sphere:
“Our friendships hurry to short and poor conclusions, because we have made them a texture of wine and dreams, instead of the tough fibre of the human heart. The laws of friendship are austere and eternal, of one web with the laws of nature and of morals.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“O sun,
Burn the great sphere thou mov’st in! darkling stand
The varying shore o’ th’ world!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
