A closed mind is a dying mind.

I don't know what's next, and I like that idea. It's a little scary, but it's also beautiful. When you're open, anything can come your way.

In life sometimes, in the universe, you have to close some doors to have others open.

Sometimes, as I feel a door or an exit point in my work is closing, I'll try to create an opening so as not to stifle the creative process, which I see as a process that's never-ending.

One could get locked in by the Pulitzer, thinking, 'This is who I am.' Doors open with it, but doors in your mind could close.

Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.

My door is open.

Bridge the gap with closed minds though careful dissection of ideas and solid presentation of fact.

The closing of a door can bring blessed privacy and comfort - the opening, terror. Conversely, the closing of a door can be a sad and final thing - the opening a wonderfully joyous moment.

I'm not one of those who can listen to music and write. I need the door closed. Windows shut. Facing the wall. No birds tweeting, views of nature, and so forth.
