Does anyone know who wrote this quote? I've seen it stated at least two ways: "Oh what a wicked web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." or "O, what wicked webs we weave, when first we practice to deceive." I have seen it attributed to both Shakespear and Sir Walter Scott. Can anyone tell me who the quote belongs to and what the correct wording is? Can you also tell me where I might find the quotation in the author's works, a particular poem, play or whatever along with scene, act, or line numbers if possible. Thanks, Josh
