Quotes:

O, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive! (Marmion, 1808, canto 6, st.30)
View quotes by Sir Walter Scott

Out flew the web and floated wide; The mirror cracked fom side to side; 'The curse is come upon me,' cried The Lady of Shalott.
View quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson

"Looking at the proliferation of personal web pages on the net, it looks like very soon everyone on earth will have 15 Megabytes of fame."
View quotes by M G Siriam

Written laws are like spider's webs; they will catch, it is true, the weak and poor, but would be torn in pieces by the rich and powerful
View quotes by Anarcharsis

Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to believe. (Paraphrasing Walter Scott)
View quotes by Laurence Peter

There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Over-concentration on any one point is a distortion.
View quotes by Camille Paglia

The creative individual has the capacity to free himself from the web of social pressures in which the rest of us are caught. He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept.
View quotes by John Gardner

Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.
View quotes by Henry James

A wisp of gossamer, about the size and substance of a spider's web.
View quotes by Monica Baldwin

I'm going to give a workshop on keeping a weblog, talk about how to set it up and all that stuff. It should be fun
View quotes by Will Wheaton

Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design.
View quotes by Tim Berners-Lee

If you use the original World Wide Web program, you never see a URL or have to deal with HTML. That was a surprise to me - that people were prepared to painstakingly write HTML.
View quotes by Tim Berners-Lee

Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
View quotes by Virginia Woolf

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.
View quotes by Stephen King

I think that it's always possible to have a great company if you have great ideas. I will say that since the web has become more commercialized, it also takes some good financial resources to build a great business, but as I always say, you have to have the idea first.
View quotes by Jerry Yang

In the spider-web of facts, many a truth is strangled
View quotes by Paul Eldridge

It's something that we bomb around the fields on - it's a way of shaking the cobwebs out [on biking]
View quotes by Prince Harry

The first comment I read was very nice, and the next comment was terribly flattering, and then the next one said something like 'I can't bear the sight of him!' [on web forum discussion on him being Doctor Who]
View quotes by David Tennant

Beauty hath no lustre save when it gleameth through the crystal web that purity's fine fingers weave for it.
View quotes by Charles Maturin

Francis Webb is easily our greatest poet and one of the greatest poets in the world but he's hardly ever mentioned.
View quotes by Robert Adamson

Who has time to manually spam web sites? That can't be very cost effective.
View quotes by Eric Cheng

Because the competitive landscape of the web is such that the site which looks and works best gets the most traffic, developers and designers put a premium on the presentation of that content and let structural markup take a back seat.
View quotes by Mike Davidson

There are 101 websites out there for debate - this was a blatant last attempt to get someone to stand against Gordon Brown.
View quotes by Diane Abbott

Someone asked me where my suit came from and I very nearly said: 'It's none of your business.' But people are interested now. [on winning a bafta, that mitchell and webb look was the most unfunny comedy in history]
View quotes by David Mitchell

Andrew [Lloyd-Webber] you have taken a great risk... who is going to be your Joseph? [the unknown being hiring a former understudy and getting the BBC to give weeks and weeks of free publicity to the show therefore guaranteeing its success]
View quotes by Graham Norton

A lot of the great songwriters in history have been collaborators, with a separate lyricist. Look at Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice; or Elton John didn't write many of his lyrics, for instance.
View quotes by Mike Gordon

Our presenter should have made it clear that only some of the children on the show came via the website [on a drama group supplying 'viewers chosen' for an interview - more BBC Blue Peter scandal]
View quotes by Richard Deverell

There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.
View quotes by Raymond Chandler

It's quite complicated and sounds circular, but we've worked out a way to calculate a web sites importance.
View quotes by Larry Page
