Windows open out onto the universe around you, but doors will take you to where your imagination lies.

About This Quote

The poet W. H. Auden said, “Windows open out onto the universe around you, but doors will take you to where your imagination lies.” He was referring to how doors can lead us to other places in our lives, while windows can help us see into other people’s lives. The metaphor suggests that homes are like doors that connect one place with another, while windows are like doorways that allow us to look into other places.
