He's such a cobweb, a pinch would annihilate him.
--
Heathcliff on Linton Heathcliff (Ch. XXIX).Emily Bronte
I tell you Mr. Hunsden, you a more unpractical man than I am an unpractical woman, for you don't acknowledge what really exists: you want to annihilate individual patriotism and national greatness as an atheist would annihilate God and his own soul, by denying their existence.
Charlotte Bronte
The most sensible people to be met with in society are men of business and of the world, who argue from what they see and know, instead of spinning cobweb distinctions of what things ought to be.
William Hazlitt
The wisest man preaches no doctrines; he has no scheme; he sees no rafter, not even a cobweb, against the heavens. It is clear sky. If I ever see more clearly at one time than at another, the medium through which I see is clearer.
Henry David Thoreau
A pinch of notoriety will do.
Quentin Crisp
I gotta go pinch off a norbit.
