About This Quote
The Bookshop has a thousand books, All colors, hues and tinges, And every cover is a door That turns on magic hinges. The bookshop is a metaphor for our lives. Like the bookshop, our lives are made up of a variety of experiences and experiences can be compared to different books in the bookshop. It is said that every time we take a step forward in life, we open a door that leads us to another form of experience.
As we continue to move through the doors into new possibilities, we begin to see that what was once merely an idea or thought has become something real. When each door leads to a new experience, we have learned something new and it has changed our lives forever.
