But then life is never neat, it is made up of doors and trapdoors. You move down baroque corridors, and even when you think you know which door to open, you still need to have the courage to choose.

About This Quote

Life is not meant to be neat. Everything is made up of doors and trapdoors. When you are down, you can’t tell if the door is good or bad. It all depends on where you are going.

There are doors that lead into undiscovered worlds, and then there are doors that lead into your past. You have to have the courage to step through the door to get to where you want to go.
