A narrative is like a room on whose walls a number of false doors have been painted; while within the narrative, we have many apparent choices of exit, but when the author leads us to one particular door, we know it is the right one because it opens.
John Updike
A racially integrated community is a chronological term timed from the entrance of the first black family to the exit of the last white family.
Saul Alinsky
Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but common prudence to see our way out before we venture in.
Aesop
And on election night I'd go down to city hall in El Paso, Texas and cover the election. In those days, of course, we didn't have exit polls. You didn't know who had won the election until they actually counted the votes. I thought that was exciting too.
Sam Donaldson
Every exit is an entry somewhere else.
Tom Stoppard
Few men of action have been able to make a graceful exit at the appropriate time.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Freeing hostages is like putting up a stage set, which you do with the captors, agreeing on each piece as you slowly put it together; then you leave an exit through which both the captor and the captive can walk with sincerity and dignity.
Terry Waite
Greece could default on its debts and even exit currency bloc if it cannot deliver reforms.
Lucas Papademos
I don't believe in dying. It's been done. I'm working on a new exit. Besides, I can't die now - I'm booked.
George Burns
I don't think Jimi committed suicide in the conventional way. He just decided to exit when he wanted to.
Eric Burdon
I pulled the plug on it at a time that I thought was right for me to exit.
Julius Erving
I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, "You're gonna have to move, you're blocking a fire exit." As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammible and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit.
Mitch Hedberg
I was so low that I wanted to exit. And I took a bunch of pills, and they were sleeping pills. And at least they would put me to sleep, and maybe I wouldn't wake up, and that was fine.
Mike Wallace
If you can't define a winning exit strategy for the American people, where we somehow come out ahead, then we're wasting our money, and we're wasting our strategic resources.
Jon Huntsman, Jr.
It is irresponsible for this Congress to not investigate the President's lack of an exit strategy, and the fraud, waste, and abuse of U.S. tax dollars.
Russ Carnahan
My desire to exit the game is greater than my desire to remain in it. I have searched my heart through and through and feel comfortable with this decision.
Barry Sanders
My main expertise is in the past, but if I have to extrapolate into the future, I would say: no good news any time soon and an obvious exit strategy is not apparent to me.
Juan Cole
Presented with a song like Exit Music, It's impossible to know what to add without actually making it worse. How can you play along when It's already there?
Jonny Greenwood
Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.
Alexandre Dumas
Some 43 percent of voters in union households voted for President Bush in 2004, according to exit poll data.
