Closed Doors Quotes

“Don't waste your time trying to provide people with proof of deceit, in order to keep their love, win their love or salvage their respect for you. The truth is this: If they care they will go out of their way to learn the truth. If they don't then they really don't value you as a human being. The moment you have to sell people on who you are is the moment you let yourself believe that every good thing you have ever done or accomplished was invisible to the world. And, it is not!”
― Shannon L. Alder

“The human ego is the ugliest part of man. We lift up men who only show us darkness, and put down those brave enough to show us the light. Likewise, people engage in darkness when it is light outside, and acknowledge the light only when it is dark. We abandon those fighting for us to cheer behind those fighting against us. And, we only remember good people and God when it is convenient for us, and take them for granted because their doors are always open - only to chase after closed doors and personalities void of substance and truth.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“You turn your back on yourself when you allow every closed door to stop you from moving on to the next one. Sometimes we choose to stand at a closed door and hope that it will somehow open, although that may defy logic and although we may know deep down that no goodness will come from it. We wait. We choose to wait. We choose to have hope, and we're always scared that the door will open the second we walk away. We claim ownership over what we do not have and fear losing it, although it really never was ours.”
― Najwa Zebian, Mind Platter

“Things go backward.

And then, one day, whatever it is we had, it’s gone. It won’t come back. We both know it.

Whatever it is she let me have, she has taken it away. Whatever it is when two people agree to briefly occupy the same space, agree to allow their lives to overlap in some small area, some temporary region of the world, a region they create through love or convenience, or for us, something even more meager, whatever that was, it has collapsed, it has closed. She has closed herself to me.”
― Charles Yu, Sorry Please Thank You

― Mango Wodzak, The Eden Fruitarian Guidebook

― Jake Byrne, First and Goal: What Football Taught Me About Never Giving Up

“لحظات السعادة حقاًلا تقدر بثمن ولكن أتسائل دائماً لماذا هى أقصر من عُمر الإنسان
،فالسعادة لا تسكن فى قلبٌ واحد
وإنما هى متقلبةٌ بين الناس وليس لنا القدرة
فى شرائها فإنما هى التى تختار من تزور قلبه لبعض الوقت
فالدنيا إنما هى خردلةٌ بالنسبة إلينا ,فلا تسعى ورائها إتركها بهمومها وأفراحها فتعود إليك كرجلٌ فقير يحتاج إلى عطفك ,الأعمار قصيرة جداً فلا تملئها حزناً فتندم على هدر الأيام ,ابتسم
وتفائل من أجل نفسك إن لم يكن من أجل غيرك ،فربما
ابتسامة تحى قلبوب وربما حزنٌ يميت قلبوب أخرى،ودع كل شيئ على الخاق إذ هو يدبر أمرك من حيث لا تدرى أنت ولا تعلم ،ولا تعقد الأمور وتغلق الأبواب وتُقطع الأرحام ، ولا تكن ككاظم الغيظ فتوكل على ربُك
. يُبدلك خيراً مما أنت فيه إذهو القادر على كل شيئ”
― omar.eldeeb
