Someone knocks at the proverb

 Someone knocks at the door of an apartment to borrow salt or sugar, people run into each other in the elevator, and in this way become inscribed in the spectator's memory.
  Krzysztof Kieslowski

 If you open the door between floors, there can be a fair gap between the shaft of the elevator and the frame of the elevator car,

 It's so tough. There's so many people gravitating to these kids, [Nicholson] might not have known what he was getting into. Somebody may knock on the door, a cute girl knocks on the door, what do you do? Thank God they don't knock on my door.
  Joe Paterno

 Affluence separates people. Poverty knits 'em together. You got some sugar and I don't; I borrow some of yours. Next month you might not have any flour; well, I'll give you some of mine.
  Ray Charles

 A poet ought not to pick nature's pocket. Let him borrow, and so borrow as to repay by the very act of borrowing. Examine nature accurately, but write from recollection, and trust more to the imagination than the memory.
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

 This building doesn't have an elevator. We're thinking of putting a bell by the back door so people can signal us to come down and get their paperwork.

 I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said, "What for?" I said, "I'm going to buy some sugar."

 He may not have even known what he was getting into, Nicholson. They knock on the door; somebody may knock on the door; a cute girl knocks on the door. What do you do?
  Joe Paterno

 I was mugged once, which really scared me, and we had a manually controlled elevator in the building. This guy jumped me, he had broken the door... the glass of the street door and he had a big sliver of that and held it to my throat. That was the scariest thing that ever happened to me. He just wanted my credit cards.

 Rebuke should have a grain more of salt than of sugar.

 Every single wagon going to Oregon had a tub of maple sugar in it. They didn't have bags of white sugar from the store. It was called tub sugar and later soft sugar.

 That was the furthest thing on my mind two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, I was just hoping to get in. I thought of it every day since the day after we got in. When opportunity knocks, open the door. That's what we're trying to do, just walk through the door.

 I was a purported composer with some self-taught notions about how to orchestrate for cinematic instrumentation, but no one was exactly knocking at my door. If you'd seen the apartment I was subletting at the time, you wouldn't have knocked at my door either.

 Discretion is the salt, and fancy the sugar of life; the one preserves, the other sweetens it. --

 Opportunity rarely knocks on your door. Knock rather on opportunity's door if you ardently wish to enter.
  Barry C. Forbes
