Not fault of teaching spider if little spider pay more attention to catching fly than doing lesson.

Anne Bishop

There's just nothing funnier or crazier than that - doing your Broadway debut as Spider-Man in 'Spider-Man' the musical. It was, like, the last thing I could have ever possibly imagined happening. I mean, I would tell people I was playing Spider-Man, and people would just break out laughing because it was so ridiculous!

Jake Epstein

There have been occasions - and I think it's very good for any human being that such occasions would be rare - that one would feel that one is a channel, and there have been some occasions when it seemed as though I was standing outside of myself watching and listening to myself sing.

Jessye Norman

I would rather be trampled by thousands of children than touch a spider.

Frank Iero

I'd rather meet Spider-man than some creator that would put me in real awe!

Marko Djurdjevic

But I'd rather help than watch. I'd rather have a heart than a mind. I'd rather expose too much than too little. I'd rather say hello to strangers than be afraid of them. I would rather know all this about myself than have more money than I need. I'd rather have something to love than a way to impress you.

Po Bronson

I quite like antiques. I like things that are old and the history they bring with them. I would rather fly to Morocco on an $800 ticket and buy a chair for $300 than spend $1,100 on one at Pottery Barn.

Walton Goggins

I’m not much of a fly tier. I can do it—my friend calls it 'ham and eggs tying'—and I tie some cool flies that I can’t buy in a fly shop, but other than that, I would no more sit down and tie a dozen hopper patterns than I would do something absolutely insane, like build a rod.

Jack Ohman

I would much rather fly on Soyuz than the shuttle.

Helen Sharman

I would rather be the head of a fly than the tail of a lion.

Victor Hugo

I'd rather have my teeth drilled than listen to that awful song, 'Fly, Eagles Fly.'

Chris Christie

For the most part, we should pray rather in aspiration than petition, rather by hoping than requesting; in which spirit also we may breathe a devout wish for a blessing on others upon occasions when it might be presumptuous to beg it.

Leigh Hunt

[Photography] is always like a state of grace, like the appearance of something that I hadn't foreseen, that surprises me and stops me. If I only did what I had in mind, there would be no emotion. It would be like keeping one's eyes shut rather than open, like theorizing rather than seeing.

Sarah Moon

Beware the lessons of a fighter pilot who would rather fly a slide rule than kick your ass!

Ron McKeown

Just like a spider with a line of silk! Did you ever see them throw themselves out into space to weave? They're taking a chance, every single time. They got to do it or else they'd never create anything. But I bet it don't feel good, even to a spider.

Olivia Goldsmith

Since cancer, I feel like I have dreams rather than ambitions, visions rather than plans.

Eve Ensler
