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.
Jennifer WelterWhat you can't teach someone is how to find the door. You can't give someone a door to another universe. You can tell them that the door exists, and if they're stuck in the hallway you can be like, "You're stuck in the hallway," but you can't open the door for them.
Ottessa MoshfeghOkay," I said. "I'd hoped to avoid this, but... Bill, I rescind your invitation into my house." Bill began walking backward to the door, a helpless look on his face, and my brush still in his hand. Eric grinned at him triumphantly. "Eric," I said, and his smile faded. "I rescind your invitation into my house." And backward he went, out my door and off my porch. The door slammed shut behind (or maybe in front of?) them.
Charlaine HarrisWhere you think Iโm goan?โ โWell,โ Eddie said, โwhat was behind Door Number One wasnโt so hot, and what was behind Door Number Two was even worse, so now, instead of quitting like sane people, weโre going to go right on ahead and check out Door Number Three. The way things have been going, I think itโs likely to be something like Godzilla or Ghidra the Three-Headed Monster, but Iโm an optimist. Iโm still hoping for the stainless steel cookware.
Stephen KingEverybody always says that I'm the girl next door, which makes me think that y'all must have a lot of weird next-door neighbours.
Kelly ClarksonFundamentally, our Lord's message was Himself. He did not come merely to preach a Gospel; He himself is that Gospel. He did not come merely to give bread; He said, "I am the bread." He did not come merely to shed light; He said, "I am the light." He did not come merely to show the door; He said, "I am the door." He did not come merely to name a shepherd; He said, "I am the shepherd." He did not come merely to point the way; He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life."
J. Sidlow BaxterWe are weak, please let us in. We're week, please let us in." After about a week tha song is gonna change to, "We're hungry, we need some food."

Tupac ShakurThe Saviour Himself is the door of the sheepfold: 'I am the door of the sheep.' Into this fold of Jesus Christ, no man may enter unless he be led by the Sovereign Pontiff; and only if they be united to him can men be saved, for the Roman Pontiff is the Vicar of Christ and His personal representative on earth.
Pope John XXIII want to get into producing. I really learned a lot from 'Girls Next Door.' Kevin Burns is a great producer. He's really talented, and he taught me a lot.

Holly MadisonThere's a tap on the door then. We all exchange looks, Tommy Falk's as uncertain as the rest of ours. No one moves, so I finally wipe my hands off on my pants, go to the door, and open it a crack. Sean stands on the other side, one hand in his trouser pocket, the other holding a loaf of bread. 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 StiefvaterA lot of actors choose parts by the scripts, but I don't trust reading the scripts that much. I try to get some friends together and read a script aloud. Sometimes I read scripts and record them and play them back to see if there's a movie. It's very evocative; it's like a first cut because you hear 'She walked to the door,' and you visualize all these things. 'She opens the door' . . . because you read the stage directions, too.
Al PacinoAlice?โ She spun toward the door, her skirts whirling softly. โYes?โ she forced out. โDo you know what I am holding in my hand?โ โNo.โ โCare to guess?โ โA pitchfork?โ she asked in a stilted attempt at levity, hoping to invoke his earlier, playful mood. โNo, my dear,โ he answered drily. โA key to your room.โ โWhat?โshe breathed, aghast. โI should hate to have to use it.โ โYou have a key to this room?โ โMm-hmm.โ She took a step toward the door, panic rising up in her throat. โYouโre bluffing!โ โDo you wish me to prove it?
Gaelen FoleyBut every point of view is a point of blindness: it incapacitates us for every other point of view. From a certain point of view, the room in which I write has no door. I turn around. Now I see the door, but the room has no window. I look up. From this point of view, the room has no floor. I look down; it has no ceiling. By avoiding particular points of view we are able to have an intuition of the whole. The ideal for a Christian is to become holy, a word which derives from โwhole.
Richard WurmbrandIt's very, very hard to speak truth to power when the truth is unpleasant. I think it's one of the toughest things especially a young person has to do and the only way you can do it is if you're willing to walk out the door if he doesn't take your advice. Or if you're willing to walk out the door if he goes over the line.

Joseph BruceIn the late 1600s the finest instruments originated from three rural families whose workshops were side by side in the Italian village of Cremona. First were the Amatis, and outside their shop hung a sign: "The best violins in all Italy." Not to be outdone, their next-door neighbors, the family Guarnerius, hung a bolder sign proclaiming: "The Best Violins In All The World!" At the end of the street was the workshop of Anton Stradivarius, and on its front door was a simple notice which read: "The best violins on the block."

Greg PlittOh, I can never get enough," he said. "Which, incidentally, is what your sister said to me when - " The carriage door flew open.

A moment later the carriage had lurched forth into the night, leaving Gabriel staring, infuriated, after it.
Cassandra ClareWhere there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.
Pauline KaelComing back is the thing that enables you to see how all the dots in your life are connected, how one decision leads you another, how one twist of fate, good or bad, brings you to a door that later takes you to another door, which aided by several detours--long hallways and unforeseen stairwells--eventually puts you in the place you are now.

RajneeshSeriously, if I switched on the TV and they were showing live footage of an army of fire-breathing pterodactyls machine-gunning people to death on the streets of London right outside my door, I'd be horrified, but not entirely surprised, nor any more scared than I already am. I'd probably just shrug and wait for them to smash the door down. We're so screwed, I don't even know what to worry about first.
Charlie BrookerInsomniaโs different,โ I said. It was hard to explain this to people. โYou know the light that comes on when you open the refrigerator door? Just imagine it stays on all the time, even after you close the door. Thatโs what itโs like in my head. The light stays on.
Barbara KingsolverIt was a shut door, and shut doors meant things kept to yourself. There were reasons you kept things to yourself, and they usually werenโt good, happy, open-air sort of reasons. Still, I didnโt want to see behind that door. You think you want to know everything there is to know about everything there is to know. But you donโt. Not really.

Bill CrawfordIt is well known that obedience is the chief among the initiatory virtues, for first it displaces presumption and then it engenders humility within us.

Thus humility should be the first concern of those who are fighting against the presumption of the devil, for as we advance it will be a sure guide to all the paths of virtue.

Gwen IfillI think it's very important to always make sure that you're talking to the entire coalition and to as many Americans as possible; not to go chasing after one little group or another.
