I’ve developed a fascination for the doorways here in Cusco . There are so many variations … in colour, in size, in decoration, in their simplicity or splendour. And the question of what’s behind each door is intriguing.
These are just some of the doorways I’ve photographed so far, plus some quotations about doorways that appealed.
“No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.” ~ Helen Keller
“You must not for one instant give up the effort to build new lives for yourselves. Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life.” ~ Daisaku Ikeda
“Kind words will unlock an iron door” ~ Turkish proverb
“Men who know themselves are no longer fools. They stand on the threshold of the door of Wisdom.” ~ Havelock Ellis
“Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.” ~ Jim Rohn
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” ~ Helen Keller
“The world is full of people who have never, since childhood, met an open doorway with an open mind.” ~ E. B. White
And the best quote of all ... “When having a smackerel of something with a friend, don't eat so much that you get stuck in the doorway trying to get out.” ~ Winnie the Pooh ... so these are WIDE doorways to allow fat Winnies to leave!
