Door

Famous quotes containing the word door:

“There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.”
—Graham Greene (1901–1994)

“A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

“If one does not do evil things in the daytime, one need not fear knocks on the door in the middle of the night.”
—Chinese proverb.
