“Sometimes when you open the door to the past, what you confront is your destiny.”

“…when you're in love, all of your doors are open, and all of their doors are open. And you roller-skate down your halls together.”

Douglas Coupland Microserfs

“Fate is how your life unfolds when you let fear determine your choices. A path of destiny reveals itself to you, however, when you confront your fear and make conscious choices.”

“When you follow your bliss… doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors, and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.”

“Elizabeth's voice had a door in it. When you opened that door you found another door, and that door opened yet another door. All the doors were nice and led out of her.”

“You have to come to your closed doors before you’ll ever get to your open doors.”

Joel Osteen (1963) American televangelist and author

“No one can really help you. No one can open your doors. You locked them up, and only you can open them. When you open any door, beyond it you find others standing there who had passed you long ago, but now, unable to proceed, they are there waiting; others are there waiting for you. Then you come, and, opening a door, those waiting disciples perhaps may pass on; thus on and on. What a privilege this, to reflect that we may perhaps be able to help those who seemed greater than ourselves!”

William Quan Judge (1851–1896) American occult writer

“Sometimes you are aware when your great moments are happening, and sometimes they rise from the past. Perhaps it's the same with people.”

Meg Cabot book All American Girl

“You've got to say what you mean and mean what you say… Doubt in your voice is an open door people will shove right through.”

Deb Caletti (1963) American writer
