“Growing up closes so many doors. The modern world doesn't allow for miracles, so we don't see them. It's a very precious gift, an open mind, but it's not passive. You've got to nurture it like a bed of roses; otherwise it will wither and die. Make sure you don't close off your mind to things you find strange. Sometimes they may be the only truth.” WorldMindMaySometimesDiesGrowing UpGrowingDoorsModernStrangeBedMiracleRosePassiveNurtureModern WorldOpen MindPrecious GiftsBed Of Roses Author:Tim Lebbon
“Many books belong to sunshine, and should be read out of doors. Clover, violets, and hedge roses breathe from their leaves; they are most lovable in cool lanes, along field paths, or upon stiles overhung by hawthorn, while the blackbird pipes, and the nightingale bathes its brown feathers in the twilight copse.” ShouldBookPathDoorsFieldsRoseBreatheBrownSunshineTwilightFeathersVioletPipeLanesLovableNightingalesCloversBlackbirdsStilesMost Lovable Book:Pleasures,objects and advantages of literature Source: Pleasures,objects and advantages of literature
“Add there was that moment when my mother and father walked in the door disguised as old people. I thought the miles in the car had bent them, dulled their eyes, even grayed and whitened their hair and caused their hands and voices to tremble. At the same time, I found, as I rose form the chair, I'd gotten old along with them.” PeopleMomentsHandsEyeFormMotherFoundFatherVoiceDoorsCarHairAddRoseMilesChairsThat MomentBentOld PeopleMother And Father Author:Louise Erdrich

“The great fact in life, the always possible escape from dullness, was the lake. The sun rose out of it, the day began there; it was like an open door that nobody could shut. The land and all its dreariness could never close in on you. You had only to look at the lake, and you knew you would soon be free.” LooksFactsSunDoorsLandRoseLakesDullness Book:The Professor's House Source: The Professor's House
“I never felt I was missing anything ever until one day I stopped long enough to smell the roses outside of this little treadmill I'd gotten myself onto and I realised there were other things that I like that I didn't know. I realised I didn't like certain things in my life that I then got rid of and it just opened the door to a plethora of other things that entered.” KnowsLittlesLongEnoughCertainFeltDoorsMissingOne DayRoseSmellRealisedTreadmills Author:Sandra Bullock
