Door Frame

Famous quotes containing the words door and/or frame:

“A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

“We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.”
—Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)
