Another quote
"Unwittingly, I was looking for a door and not a doorway, something to hide behind and think private thoughts, not a conduit to let the community into my heart. Loneliness was the worst punishment imaginable, and I was trying to rent it." p. 85 of Secrets of the Talking Jaguar by Martin Prechtel

I like the distinction between the door and the doorway. While the standard cliche is to talk about a window in the soul, I better like the idea of a door. The door can be open, closed, locked, a refuge for hiding behind, or a crutch for hiding behind.
