Quote examples
Thomas Bailey Aldrich
American Poet
A habit leads a man so gently in the beginning that he does not perceive he is led - with what silken threads and down what pleasant avenues it leads him! By and by, the soft silk threads become iron chains, and the pleasant avenues Avernus!
Quote examples
Henry James
American Writer
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.
Quote examples
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
American Poet
There is nothing holier in this life of ours than the first consciousness of love, the first fluttering of its silken wings.
