thread-worm quotes- 10 of
The worm artist
out of soil, by passage
Castles of metaphor!

Poor Desdemona! I am glad thy father's dead.
Thy match was mortal to him, and pure grief
Shore his old thread in twain.

With money you're a dragon; without it you're a worm.
Though a thousand miles apart, two lovers destined to meet are joined by a common thread.
A single fiber does not make a thread, nor a single tree a forest.
A single strand of silk does not make a thread, nor a single tree a forest.
Running water is never stagnant, nor does a door hinge ever get worm-eaten.
