Best Closing Up Quotes

Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.

For the first time in longer than I can remember, I feel peaceful. Not happy. Not sad. Not anxious. Not horny. Just all the higher parts of my brain closing up shop. The cerebral cortex. The cerebellum. That’s where my problem is. I’m now simplifying myself. Somewhere balanced in the perfect middle between happiness and sadness. Because sponges never have a bad day.

Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during the moment.
