“Every wall is a door.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Having hit a wall, the next logical step is not to bang our heads against it.”
Stephen Harper
“We may be up against a stone wall, but we don't have to bloody our heads against it unless we choose to.”
William Glasser
“I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?" Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“The red brick wall was the color of a brick-red Crayola”
Douglas Adams
“Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.”
Coco Chanel
“Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead!”
William Shakespeare
“Sometimes I think you want me to touch you, how can I when you build a great wall around you.”
Tori Amos
“The sound shivers through the walls, through the table, through the window frame, and into my finger. These distraction-oholics. These focus-ophobics. Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed... and this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.”
“[In] The Wolves in the Walls, ... If the wolves come out of the walls, it's all over.”
Neil Gaiman
