There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.
I don't even hate books anymore.
Leonard CohenAs our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
Leonard CohenHere's to the few who forgive what you do, and the fewer who don't even care
Leonard CohenIn streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see,
Out of which the Nameless makes
A Name for one like me...
All busy in the sunlight
The flecks did float and dance,
And I was tumbled up with them
In formless circumstance.
Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.
Leonard CohenTags: life poetry writing inspiration evidence ash
In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.
Leonard CohenI raise my glass to the Awful Truth,
Which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth,
Except to say it isn't worth a dime,
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice,
And it's once for the Devil and once for Christ
Don't call yourself a secret
unless you mean to keep it.
It’s a pity if someone… has to console himself for the wreck of his days with the notion that somehow his voice, his work embodies the deepest, most obscure, freshest, rawest oyster of reality in the unfathomable refrigerator of the heart’s ocean, but I am such a one, and there you have it.
