Sport industry is not women versus men. My biggest champions a lot of the times in my career have been those men. Not that women necessarily wouldn't, but if there are no women in the room and the door is locked, it takes a guy to unlock the door for you and let you in. We have to get better at working together in that regard, as opposed to feeling like we need to crash the door down. You don't need to bring out the ax; sometimes you can just knock. And sometimes guys will open the door for you, but for so many women who felt like they had to fight so hard, we forget that they may be allies.

Maggie StiefvaterEvery day I go to my study and sit at my desk and put the computer on. At that moment, I have to open the door. It's a big, heavy door. You have to go into the Other Room. Metaphorically, of course. And you have to come back to this side of the room. And you have to shut the door.

That's his job!
Steve HarveySometimes I get drunk and I get into arguments with taxi drivers. And I get out the cab and I slam the door. That's not the way to win an argument with a taxi driver.

Henri NouwenThere's a tap on the door then. We all exchange looks, Tommy Falk's as uncertain as the rest of ours.

I wasn't prepared for it to be Sean, so my stomach does a neat little trick that feels like either hunger or escaping.
Maggie StiefvaterShe had only to open a door, nothing but a door between the words,just large enough for her and Farid to pass through.
Cornelia FunkeThe one who decides who goes ahead has the upper hand, regardless of who gets to go. This is why many women do not feel empowered by such privileges as having doors held open for them.

Josh FoxIt's a romantic view of Canada. It's like Michael Moore saying we don't lock our doors in Canada. I lock my door mainly because my girlfriend wants me to lock the door, but mind you we lock our doors. It is a little simplistic to say that we blend easily back home with other cultures. It's difficult, but I think it's mainly a big city phenomenon.
Philippe FalardeauSo in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last day of summer and I've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.

No matter by which culture a woman is influenced, she understands the words wild and woman, intuitively.
Clarissa Pinkola EstesThey reached the carriage house. When she turned the knob, he got all critical again. โWhy isnโt this door locked?โ โItโs Parrish. Thereโs not much point.โ โWe have crime here, just as any other place does. Keep this door locked from now on.โ โLike thatโs going to stop you. All youโd have to do is give it one good kick, and โ โ โNot from me, you ninny!โ โI hate to be the one to break the bad news, but if they find my body, youโre the one with the biggest grudge.โ โItโs impossible to hold a rational conversation with you.

Deepak Chopra"Ladies and Gentlemen, we're about to begin boarding. If we could ask for your cooperation, please stay seated until you row has been called." ...

Richelle MeadI found a lot of comfort in the fact that 30-odd people have been companions before me. I think that when there are so many people contributing so many things to the show, all you can do is make it your own. You can't try to emulate anyone, because who would you pick? The companions are very much the everyman, and the audience watches the story through their eyes, so they could be the person next door. And everybody's different.
Freema AgyemanThe success of a play, especially one's first success, is somewhat like pushing against a door which is suddenly opened that was always securely shut until then.

It made it possible to dream of daring more and risking more.

I can truthfully say that I possess all of Vieux Paris.
Eugene AtgetHuman beings consider themselves satisfied only compared to some other condition. A man who has owned nothing but a bicycle all of his life feels suddenly wealthy the moment he buys an automobile...But this happy sensation wears off.
