A doorway is an ambiguous phenomenon, a liminal spot in a person’s life. A door can be a choice, a possibility, a protection or an aperture to new-fangled values. It can mean a barrier, a prison or a gate to freedom. It can, however, vanish in the mist of unawareness by lack of social concern. At that moment, our freedom has become our jail and we feel locked up in our own liberty. Any exit has waned: the doorway has been absorbed in the stupor of our infatuation.

All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life. – M. C. RichardsRate it:
American life is a powerful solvent. It seems to neutralise every intellectual element, however tough and alien it may be, and to fuse it in the native good-will, complacency thoughtlessness, and optimism. – James Harvey RobinsonRate it:
An evildoer may succeed in delivering injustice to the righteous; but the howl of protest from within his conscience will reverberate in the ears of his soul--for the rest of his life. – Kimano M. EdwardsRate it:
