“I offer images-I conjure memories of freedom that can still be reached-like the Doors, right? But we can only open the doors-we can't drag people through.”

“I suppose she's right. It's like a metaphor for life: No one wants an ornery old goat, but we can't resist opening the door ayway. We can't keep from hoping.”

“I know that when a door closes, it can feel like all doors are closing. A rejection letter can feel like everyone will reject us. But a closed door leads to clarity. It's really an arrow. Because we cannot go through that door, we will go somewhere else. That somewhere else is your true life.”

“We think that behind that steel door of resistance there’s a dragon breathing fire; if we open the door we think we’ll be devoured. So often, we open the door, and as someone once said ‘we don’t find a fire breathing dragon, we find a gerbil in drag.”

“Sometimes God closes some doors; so, that you can create a door for you to open and pass through it. The only things you must have is confidence that you can create that door where you can defeat, and faith that God allow you to create the door; or, He will open a door that you will need. But, you must create the door first before God decides to open a door for you.”

“So many people mean nothing to us, we pass one another by without acknowledgement, without comprehending the gifts many have to offer, if only we slowed down and realised we’re not all so different. My front door isn’t open to everyone, but I can tell a good one when I see them just like I know trouble when it’s staring me in the face.”
