“Happiness is something that comes into our lives through doors we don't even remember leaving open.”

“Leave the big door open, everyone'll come around…”

Dave Matthews (1967) American singer-songwriter, musician and actor

“Fortune leaves always some door open to come at a remedy.”

Miguel de Cervantes (1547–1616) Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright

“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

“Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.”

John Barrymore (1882–1942) American actor of stage, screen and radio

“You can't leave me alone," she said, following him into the living room.
"Yes," he corrected, "I can. You'll be perfectly safe."
"The front door's off!"
"Well, yes. You'll be perfectly safe as long as they don't come through the front door.”

Derek Landy Skulduggery Pleasant

“I see the new Latin artist as a pioneer, opening up doors for others to follow. And when they don't open, we crowbar our way in.”

John Leguizamo (1964) Colombian and American actor, film producer, voice artist, and comedian

“Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during a moment.”

Carl Sandburg (1878–1967) American writer and editor

“We forget to even see that there is something more than just us, that “we,” or “I,” an individual, is not the only thing in this whole universe. Your goodness, your badness, your deeds, what’s right for you and what’s wrong for you, and what’s beautiful and what’s not beautiful, what’s happy, what’s sad, and all these ideas--that’s not all. We forget that there is an incredible creation that surrounds us. And we have to open up to that creation. Obviously we want peace in our life. That’s what we’re trying to pursue. But there is this door and this door is locked. Without a key it will not open up. Beyond this door lies Knowledge. Beyond this door lies Love.”

Prem Rawat (1957) controversial spiritual leader

“Leave the door open for the unknown, the door into the dark. That’s where the most important things come from, where you yourself came from, and where you will go.”

Rebecca Solnit (1961) Author and essayist from United States
