Side Door

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or door:

    The businessman who assumes that his life is everything, and the mystic who asserts that it is nothing, fail, on this side and on that, to hit the truth.... No; truth, being alive ... was only to be found by continuous excursions into either realm, and though proportion is the final secret, to espouse it at the outset is to ensure sterility.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    And we passed to the end of a vista,
    But were stopped by the door of a tomb—
    By the door of a legended tomb;
    And I said—” What is written, sweet sister,
    On the door of this legended tomb?”
    She replied—”Ulalume—Ulalume!—
    ‘Tis the vault of thy lost Ulalume!”
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
