Door

Famous quotes containing the word door:

“... the door that nobody else will go in at, seems always to swing open widely for me.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)

“Wistfully watching, with wonderful liquid eyes.
And all her weight, all her blood, dripping sack-wise down towards
the earth’s center,
And the live little-one taking in its paw at the door of her belly.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind’s door at 4am of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
