“she slammed the door and
was gone.

I looked at the closed door
and at the doorknob
and strangely
I didn't feel
alone.”

“To keep up appearances, I stomp my room and slam the door.”

Laurie Halse Anderson Speak

“When one door closes, another opens… into another room, another space, other happenings. There are many doors to open and close in our lives. Some doors we leave ajar, where we hope and plan to return. Some doors are slammed shut decisively—"No more of that!" Some are closed regretfully, softly—"It was good, but it is over." Departures entail arrivals somewhere else. Closing a door, leaving it behind, means opening onto new vistas and ventures, new possibilities, new incentives.”

Helen Nearing (1904–1995) American writer

“Then again, he supposed the healing process, in contrast to trauma, was gentle and slow… The soft closing of a door, rather than a slam.- John”

Jessica Bird (1969) U.S. novelist

“The major problem of life is learning how to handle the costly interruptions. The door that slams shut, the plan that got sidetracked, the marriage that failed. Or that lovely poem that didn't get written because someone knocked on the door.”

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–1968) American clergyman, activist, and leader in the American Civil Rights Movement

“A door opens to me. I go in and am faced with a hundred closed doors.”

Antonio Porchia (1885–1968) Italian Argentinian poet

“I don't just pray for God to open doors, I also pray for God to close doors.”

Joyce Meyer (1943) American author and speaker

“Joy and Temperance and Repose
Slam the door on the doctor's nose.”

Friedrich von Logau (1605–1655) German poet

“I thank God for Closed Doors”

Tyler Perry (1966) American actor, director, screenwriter, playwright, producer, author, and songwriter

“Before I could cry or scream I whirled around and stalked to my bedroom, slamming the door behind me.
I hope they all drown.

"Zoey your mother and I need to speak with you."
Great. Clearly they didn't drown.”
