Door Quotes (page 33)

I suppose every generation has a conceit of itself which elevates it, in its own opinion, above that which comes after it. ("The Open Door") Margaret Oliphant
Simone Weil quote: "The world is the closed door. It is a barrier. And at the same..."
The world is the closed door. It is a barrier. And at the same time it is the way through. Simone Weil
Neil Gaiman quote: "She had the feeling that the door was looking at her, which..."

[From below comes the noise of a door slamming.] Henrik Ibsen
When my generation of women walked away from the kitchen we were escorted down that path by a profiteering industry that knew a tired, vulnerable marketing target when they saw it. "Hey, ladies," it said to us, "go ahead, get liberated. We'll take care of dinner." They threw open the door and we walked into a nutritional crisis and genuinely toxic food supply. If you think toxic is an exaggeration, read the package directions for handling raw chicken from a CAFO. We came a long way, baby,... Barbara Kingsolver
Maybe the world was like a revolving door, it occurred to him as his consciousness was fading away. And which section you ended up in was just a matter of where your foot happened to fall...And there was no logical continuity from one section to another. And it was because of this lack of logical continuity that choices really didn't mean very much. Haruki Murakami
The judge arrived half an hour later with the file he had collected from his office on the way, signed several papers, had Sam sign them, the matron witness them; Josh cried, Norm cried, she cried, the judge grinned, and Timmie waved his teddy bear at the judge with a broad grin as they wheeled into the elevator. "So long!" he shouted, and when the doors closed, the judge was laughing and crying too. Danielle Steel
I think different religions are different doors to the same house. Sometimes I think the house exists, and sometimes I don’t. It’s the great mystery. (Steve Jobs) Walter Isaacson
But here was all the timorousness and angularity of inexperienced youth, a feeling of awkwardness, and an impression of bewilderment, as if someone had suddenly knocked at the door. Anton Chekhov
If you can repress for a moment your spinster-like longing to meddle in my affairs,’ said Lymond cuttingly, from the door, ‘I am waiting to go. Dorothy Dunnett
She must have heard the door opening and closing in the middle of the night; she produces a smile, warm, conspiratorial, and I know what circuits are closing in her head: by screwing Joe she's brought us back together. Saving the world, everyone wants to; men think they can do it with guns, women with their bodies, love conquers all, conquerors love all, mirages raised by words. Margaret Atwood
It drew aside the window-curtain and looked out; perhaps it saw dawn approaching, for, taking the candle, it retreated to the door. Just at my bedside, the figure stopped: the fiery eyes glared upon me-she thrust up her candle close to my face, and extinguished it under my eyes. I was aware her lurid visage flamed over mine, and I lost consciousness: for the second time in my life-only the second time-I became insensible from terror. Charlotte Bronte
After...The seas have dried out. The trains have come to a shrieking holt. The hounds of the abyss cease to howl. The prisons have closed their doors. The pigs have no one to arrest except themselves. The drugs no longer have an effect. When it's all over. All I'll remember is you Henry Rollins
When I’d checked into the bathroom with Seymour’s diary under my arm, and had carefully secured the door behind me, I spotted a message almost immediately. It was not, however, in Seymour’s handwriting but, unmistakably, in my sister Boo Boo’s. With or without soap, her handwriting was always almost indecipherably minute, and she had easily managed to post the following message up on the mirror; 'Raise high the roof beam, carpenters. Like Ares comes the bridegroom, taller far than a tall man.... J. D. Salinger
Hard and steady and engrossing labor with the hands, especially out of doors, is invaluable to the literary man and serves him directly. Nov. 20, 1851 Henry David Thoreau
