Examples of Doorway in a Sentence

1. Helen Keller:

   No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.

2. Thor Eells:

   When you think about it, making entry -- announced or unannounced -- is very high risk, you're going through a' fatal funnel,' where the bad guy could fire rounds blindly at a doorway and have a chance of hitting us. If we don't have to go through, we don't want to. Who benefits from making an entry ? The answer is the bad guy. So we'd say, that's a tactically unsound decision.

3. Erik Pevernagie:

   A doorway is an ambiguous phenomenon, a liminal spot in a person’s life. A door can be a choice, a possibility, a protection or an aperture to new-fangled values. It can mean a barrier, a prison or a gate to freedom. It can, however, vanish in the mist of unawareness by lack of social concern. At that moment, our freedom has become our jail and we feel locked up in our own liberty. Any exit has waned: the doorway has been absorbed in the stupor of our infatuation. ( “In the doorway” )

4. Douglas Kirkland:

   What I saw step through the doorway was like a gleaming figure -- very special, brilliant, to me, she didn't seem to walk. She almost floated in slow-motion.

5. Chief Richard Biehl:

   Had this individual made it through the doorway of Ned Peppers with that level of weaponry, there would have been catastrophic injuries and a loss of life.
