Door Opens

Famous quotes containing the words door and/or opens:

    “... So it’s plain to be discerned
    That the shades of holy men
    Who have failed, being weak of will,
    Pass the Door of Birth again,
    And are plagued by crowds, until
    They’ve passion to escape.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    and you’ll bargain with the calendar
    and at the last moment
    when death opens the back door
    you’ll put on your carpet slippers
    and stride out.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
