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)

    Too often when you thought you’d be showered with confetti
    What they flung at you was a plate of hot spaghetti
    You’ve put your fancy clothes and flashy gems in hock
    Yet you pause before your father’s door afraid to knock
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    There is the empty chapel, only the wind’s home.
    It has no windows, and the door swings,
    Dry bones can harm no one.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
