“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.”

“When one door closes, fortune will usually open another.”

“When one door is closed, many more is open.”

“Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open.”

“When God closes one door, He slams another in your face”

“The fate of all explanation is to close one door only to have another fly wide open.”

“Each time a door closes, the rest of the world opens us. All we need to do is stop pounding on the door that just closed, turn around—which puts the door behind us—and welcome the largeness of life that now lies open to our souls. The door that closed kept us from entering a room, but what now lies before us is the rest of reality.”

“This is the shade of meaning: the door of a physician should never be closed; the door of a priest should always be open.”

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

“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.”
