Famous quotes containing the word door:

    There is a doctrine uttered in secret that man is a prisoner who has no right to open the door of his prison and run away.

    I always have felt strange when we came home
    To the dark house after so long an absence,

    Seemed to warn someone to be getting out
    At one door as we entered at another.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    It’s true, as Marya Mannes says: “No one believes [a woman’s] time to be sacred. A man at his desk in a room with a closed door is a man at work. A woman at a desk in any room is available.”
