Does anyone know the EXACT line when the Lit. teacher was saying something about a web of lies. I would also like to know where he got that line from because it was obviously from a story or book or something!! Thanks in advance!!!

I havent found my Mr Darcy yet, but until I do Matthew MacFadyen will do!

I knew the quote, but not the author, so I looked it up on Yahoo! multiple times until I found it, lol.

Here ya go:

Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
-- Sir Walter Scott
Marmion (one of his poems... 1808)
Canto vi. Stanza 17
