“Phresine showed him where he could sleep, in an interior room with no windows, a narrow bed, and a washstand. There were chests stacked along one wall, and Costis guessed the dismal spot was probably a closet cleaned out to make room for him. Hard to believe the royal apartments, so lavish elsewhere, would otherwise have such a plain corner. Expecting better of royal closets, Costis went to bed disappointed.”
― Megan Whalen Turner, The King of Attolia

“If you put enough closets together, you have enough space for a room. If you put enough rooms together, you have enough room for a house. If you put enough houses together, you have space for a town, then a city, then a nation, then a world.”
― David Levithan, Two Boys Kissing

“It's only since it's been made impossible that it's been made so damn easy. It's got like prohibition, with bums and crooks making fortunes out of hooch, everyone who might have had a palate losing it, nobody caring how you hold your liquor, you've been smart enough if you get it at all. You can't make good wine in a bathtub in the cellar, you need sun and rain and fresh air, you need pride in a job you can tell the world about. Only you can live without drink if you have to, but you can't live without love.”
― Mary Renault, The Charioteer

“I am becoming better at releasing the “what-ifsâ€� that clog my closets.”

“If you put enough closets together, you have enough space for a room. If you put enough rooms together, you have enough space for a house. If you put enough houses together, you have space for a town, then a city, then a nation, then a world.”

“Solomon breathed a sigh of relief ever so slightly, thankful that the cricket had not been eaten. Not that he was concerned for the cricket being eaten. No, he was simply relieved that the voice in the closet, which could be a monster, had not eaten it. If the voice had eaten the cricket, that meant that he was a monster that eats things in the night, and Solomon too could be eaten. Being eaten by a closet monster was perhaps the scariest thing that could happen to an elephant, not to mention a cricket, as far as Solomon was concerned.”
― Michael Delaware, Scary Elephant Meets the Closet Monster

“Closets, schmosets, everyone’s out of the closet. Now where the fuck are the men!”
― Larry Kramer, Faggots

“I’ve never quite understood the double Janus face of bi â€� Janus, the Roman god of gates and doors, especially closets.”
― Paul Monette, Becoming a Man

“Children assume that monsters dwell in closets. Pubescent literati know it is the gateway to magic lands.”
― Thomm Quackenbush, Holidays with Bigfoot

“For it turned out there were closets within the closet, and a lingering self-hatred that even the joy of connection couldn’t solve. What love gives you is the courage to face the secrets you’ve kept from yourself, a reason to open the rest of the doors.”
― Paul Monette, Becoming a Man

“Bethany Winston once told me that time was like a closet. No matter what you do or how good your intentions are, you will always fill your time and closets with things that don't matter.
"That's why funerals are so important", she'd said. "They force you to clean out closets and reevaluate how you spend your time (...).”
― Penny Reid, Dr. Strange Beard

“There was a purgatory on earth that we the
living wandered into, clinging on to the memories of the person, breathing in the clothes still hanging in the closet until time
gently ameliorates their fragrance, blending it into the sameness of air. Our ghosts resided there, in that closet. Few of us had
the courage to shut that door, to lock it, to never peep into it again, to let the ghosts swirl within the closed confines desperate
for release. We kept returning to peek into those closets in our heads, we kept letting our ghosts out.”
― Kiran Manral, More Things in Heaven and Earth

“I’m not one for keeping people in closets,â€� Roxie responded. “In case you weren’t able to tell by the lesbian about me.”
― Katherine McIntyre, Strength Check

“Secrets upon secrets. Thus by inexorable degrees does the love that dares not speak its name build walls instead, till a house is nothing but closets.”
― Paul Monette, Becoming a Man
