The mind cannot support moral chaos for long. Men are under as strong a compulsion to invent an ethical setting for their behavior as spiders are to weave themselves webs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are so many spiders, and their rituals, their mating rituals, their courtship ritual, can be very, very different.
Most spiders eat and remake their webs every night.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
It appears to me that almost any man may like the spider spin from his own inwards his own airy citadel.
Men are more moral than they think and far more immoral than they can imagine.
Spider-Man has always been a symbol of goodness and doing the right thing and looking after your fellow man.
The world is well supplied with spiders whose male ancestors died after mating. The world is bereft of spiders whose would-be ancestors never mated in the first place.
Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else; and primarily, morality consists in the motives, that is in the affections.
Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
Some men spend their lives watching bees and ants, noting down the habits of these insects; my pleasure is to watch the human mind, noting how unselfish instincts rise to the surface and sink back again, making way for selfish instincts, each equally necessary, for the world would perish were it to become entirely selfish or entirely unselfish.
