I never know when somebody’s going to knock on the door of my own unconscious in a way that I wouldn’t have anticipated (Door Quotes)
If efforts to do social work are couched in selfish motives, then they will die a premature death. Why would my efforts get politicised? I have values I inherited from my father. He helped many. Anyone, even a postman knocking on our door would get a glass of water and some sweets (Door Quotes)
I always say leave things at the door. Whether it’s at your audition or at your house, leave the problems of the day away. Keep persevering, stick to yourself. Don’t do what other people ask, do what you want! (Door Quotes)
I think if you do a lot of interviews, you’re laying yourself open. If you put yourself out, accept every invitation to every premiere, then you can’t really complain when people knock on your front door and photograph you in the street (Door Quotes)
They waited. The door did not open. The rain did not stop. The darkness made a tent and covered them completely (Door Quotes)

Sometimes maybe you need an experience. The experience can be a person or it can be a drug. The experience opens a door that was there all the time but you never saw it. Or maybe it blasts you into outer space... All that negative stuff. All the pain... It just floted away from me, I just floated away from it... up and away (Door Quotes)
There is something about that moment, when literature becomes accessible, and a door of the world opens (Door Quotes)
I’m still there, watching those possessed children, as far away from the mystery now as I was then. I’ve never written, though I thought I wrote, never loved, though I thought I loved, never done anything but wait outside the closed door (Door Quotes)
Down the hall came the wife. She was glorious, burning. She didn’t know yet that her husband was dead. We knew. That’s what gave her such power over us. The doctor took her into a room with a desk at the end of the hall, and from under the closed door a slab of brilliance radiated as if, by some stupendous process, diamonds were being incinerated in there. What a pair of lungs! She shrieked as I imagined an eagle would shriek. It felt wonderful to be alive to hear it! I’ve gone looking for that feeling everywhere (Door Quotes)
How not to imagine the tumors ripening beneath his skin, flesh I have kissed, stroked with my fingertips, pressed my belly and breasts against, some nights so hard I thought I could enter him, open his back at the spine like a door or a curtain and slip in like a small fish between his ribs, nudge the coral of his brains with my lips, brushing over the blue coil of his bowels with the fluted silk of my tail (Door Quotes)
From being quite sure of himself and his future he becomes not at all sure. If he be an imaginative boy a door is torn open and for the first time he looks out upon the world, seeing, as though they marched in procession before him, the countless figures of men who before his time have come out of nothingness into the world, lived their lives and again disappeared into nothingness. The sadness of sophistication has come to the boy (Door Quotes)
Elizabeth’s voice had a door in it. When you opened that door you found another door, and that door opened yet another door. All the doors were nice and led out of her (Door Quotes)
The library was a little old shaby place. Francie thought it was beautiful. The feeling she had about it was as good as the feeling she had about church. She pushed open the door and went in. She liked the cmbined smell of worn leather bindings, library past and freshly inked stamping pads better than she liked the smell of burning incense at high mass (Door Quotes)
Islam was like a mental cage. At first, when you open the door, the caged bird stays inside: it is frightened. It has internalized its imprisonment. It takes time for bird to escape, even after someone has opened the doors to its cage (Door Quotes)
A journey, after all, neither begins in the instant we set out, nor ends when we have reached our door step once again. It starts much earlier and is really never over, because the film of memory continues running on inside of us long after we have come to a physical standstill. Indeed, there exists something like a contagion of travel, and the disease is essentially incurable (Door Quotes)
Talent must be a fanatical mistress. She’s beautiful; when you’re with her, people watch you, they notice. But she bangs on your door at odd hours, and she disappears for long stretches, and she has no patience for the rest of your existence; your wife, your children, your friends. She is the most thrilling evening of your week, but some day she will leave you for good. One night, after she’s been gone for years, you will see her on the arm of a younger man, and she will pretend not to recognize you (Door Quotes)
Human beings consider themselves satisfied only compared to some other condition. A man who has owned nothing but a bicycle all of his life feels suddenly wealthy the moment he buys an automobile... But this happy sensation wears off. After a while the car becomes just another thing that he owns. Moreover, when his neighbor next door buys two cars, in an instant our man feels wretchedly poor and deprived (Door Quotes)
He felt full of a dense and sour substance that was blocking his chest, and it wasn’t grief. After all those years, life now seemed like no more than a trap, a maze, not even a maze, just a room that was all walls, no door (Door Quotes)
The problem with being a modern woman, I thought, as the front door swung wide, is that you have to pretend to be stronger than you are (Door Quotes)
I must spin good ghosts out of my hope to oppose the hordes at my window. If those who look in see me condescend to barricade the door, they will know too much and crowd in to overcome me (Door Quotes)
My love for you won’t stop with my leaving. Come an evening over the years, when you step outside your door and hear the wind blowing through the cottonwoods, that’ll be me, thinking of you, whispering your name, and loving you (Door Quotes)
... crazy world or maybe it’s just the view we have of it, looking through a crack in the door, never being able to see the whole room, the whole picture (Door Quotes)
All bags are pack ready to go I am standing here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye dawn is braking its early morn the taxi waiting he blowing his horn already I am so lonesome I could die so kiss me and smile for me tell me that you’ll wait for me and hold me like you never let me go cause leaving on a jet plane don’t know when ill be back again oh babe I hate to go there so many let you down so many time I played around I tell you know that don’t mean a thing every plase I go I’ll think of you every song I sing I’ll sing for you (Door Quotes)
... in the course of our lives, the evil which in itself we seek most to shun, and which, when we are fallen into, is the most dreadful to us, is oftentimes the very means or door of our deliverance, by which alone we can be raised again from the affliction we are fallen into (Door Quotes)
I felt my being flutter. each tousled head that came through the door I wanted to be his, but no and on, a dozen boys entered, yet not the one (Door Quotes)
He says when your grandmother died your mother cried solidly for a week, solidly. She was crying with relief he says, it was like as if a door had been unlocked and she’d been let outside, she said to me I’m safe now. He waits, and he says this kid, when it’s born, you mustn’t ever let it think it’s anything other than a gift and a blessing, do you hear me? (Door Quotes)
Yesterday I carved your name into the surface of an ice cube then held it against my chest til it melted into my aching pores today I cried so hard the neighbors knocked on my door and asked if I wanted to borrow some sugar (Door Quotes)
Why did dogs make one want to cry? There was something so quiet and hopeless about their sympathy. Jasper, knowing something was wrong, as dogs always do. Trunks being packed. Cars being brought to the door. Dogs standing with drooping tails, dejected eyes. Wandering back to their baskets in the hall when the sound of the car dies away (Door Quotes)
Hinged to forgetfulness like a door, she slowly closed out of sight, and she was the woman I loved, but too many times she slept like a mechanical deer in my caresses, and I ached in the metal silence of her dreams (Door Quotes)
