Doorkeeper Reason Quote by Anonymous

“I am fully qualified to work as a doorkeeper, and for this reason: What is inside me, I don't let out: What is outside me, I don't let in. If someone comes in, he goes right out again. He has nothing to do with me at all. I am a Doorkeeper of the Heart, not a lump of wet clay.” quote by Anonymous
