Do any of you recognize this quotation? I promised my sisters I would post this as a question

[Mike 03]

here at DU, just for fun:

"Keep passing the open windows."

This is like a mantra in my family. I was just curious if anyone recognized it.

1. Pass an open window? I don't even know if I could swallow one!

2. Hotel New Hampshire?

John Irving to be sure

4. Yes... You got it. NT

[gmoney]

6. I actually remembered it... wow... no wiki required.

Of course, I can remember movie quotes from 20 years ago, but ask me what I said to my girlfriend two nights ago, and I haven't a clue.

[Mike 03]

9. Glad to know someone else remembers it. Thanks for sharing this. NT.

3. Wiki says:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hotel_New_Hampshire_(film)

"Saying "keep passing the open windows" is the family's way of telling each other to persevere."

[Mike 03]

5. Wow, Wiki is amazing. It has also ruined every mystery or secret

in life...lol

No, seriously, that is cool that Wiki has this too. Incredible.

[Mike 03]

7. One of my sisters taped that quote to my fence today. I just put it on

my refrigerator.

Is nothing sacred anymore?

Even Wiki knows my family's secret phrase... LOL
