Leonard Cohen
Avoid the flourish. Do not be afraid to be weak. Do not be ashamed to be tired. You look good when you’re tired. You look like you could go on forever. Now come into my arms. You are the image of my beauty .
Leonard Cohen
I’ll be marching through the morning, Marching through the night, Moving 'cross the borders Of My Secret Life.
Leonard Cohen
