“The world is full of people who have never, since childhood, met an open doorway with an open mind.”
“Every time your heart is broken, a doorway cracks open to a world full of new beginnings, new opportunities.”
“The doors of the world are opened to people who can read.”
“If you're trying to open a doorway to perception and it seems to be stuck, try opening it the other way.”
“Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.”
“Nobody taught me to be like this. I was born this way. Since I opened my eyes to the world, I have never slept with a man. Never. Just imagine what purity. I have nothing to be ashamed of.[2000]”
