wants to know if i'm seeing somebody. i tell her that due to circumstances outside my control, i have had to close the door, put twenty locks on, and dump the keys in the thames. now, all i need is a good locksmith. directory enquiries, anyone?

on the subject of doors

it is not just a question of whether the door is open or not, but of whether you can find the right key, and if on finding it you know how to use it, and if you know how to use it, if you want to.

then again, after all that, the lock may have got rusty and not work at all.
