30 Day Blogger, Day 5: My Favorite Quote

I remember watching the film version of John Irving's The Hotel New Hampshire when I was younger. There was a line in that film - and then later in the book, when I read it - that struck me as very profound even then. "Keep passing the open windows." Keep going. No matter how easy it would be to jump, keep going. It's a line that I have had reason to call up many times in my life. Strange that five words can keep you grounded. I liken it to the "it gets better" campaign of today. That's the power Irving's words had for me. "Keep passing the open windows." Indeed.
