The building itself is hostile: cracked plaster, broken windows, splintered doors and carved up desks, gloomy corridors and metal stairways, dingy cafeteria (they can eat sitting down only in 20 minute shifts) and an auditorium which has no windows. It does have murals, however, depicting mute, muscular harvesters, faded and immobile under a mustard sun.

Little houses in a row,
Down a quiet lane;
Neither doors nor windows know,
Peace and darkness reign.
Though you cannot pay the rent,
You will dwell there with the best.
Where the weary, broken, spent,
Find eternal rest!

 
Isaac Leib Peretz

Let's just write our own and suck it up into our client."

 
Steve Ballmer
 

Your eyes are windows to your heart; Your ears are windows to your discretion; You nose is the door to your soul - you can win over any man with just your smell.

 
Siddharth Katragadda
 

There comes a time in a man's life when to get where he has to – if there are no doors or windows – he walks through a wall.

 
Bernard Malamud
 

We cannot keep thieves from looking in at our windows, but we need not give them entertainment with open doors.
