wise words from a spider about the importance of loving one another:

~~~

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.

So simple, and yet so profound. It made me glad. Thank you.

I've always loved that story...and that quote always seems to make me sniffly...I keep hearing her voice from the movie say that...it makes me wanna hug her. *;_;* Very touching...*sniffles*
