“The spider's web: She finds an innocuous corner in which to spin her web. The longer the web takes, the more fabulous its construction. She has no need to chase. She sits quietly, her patience a consummate force; she waits for her prey to come to her on their own, and then she ensnares them, injects them with venom, rendering them unable to escape. Spiders – so needed and yet so misunderstood.”
― Donna Lynn Hope

“The diamonds glinted under the glare of the chandelier and they looked like a thousand spider eyes”
― Kate Chisman, Creep

“Spiders evidently as surprised by the weather as the rest of us: their webs were still everywhere - little silken laundry lines with perfect snowflakes hung out in rows to dry.”
― Leslie Land, The 3,000 Mile Garden: An Exchange of Letters on Gardening, Food, and the Good Life
