Get ready for the future: it is murder.

May everyone live, And may everyone die. Hello, my love, And my love, Goodbye.
Leonard Cohen

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love

What is most original in a man's nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn't have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.

It doesn't matter what you do because it's going to happen anyway.
Leonard Cohen

Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
Leonard Cohen
Image
You who build these altars now to sacrifice these children , you must not do it anymore. A scheme is not a vision and you never have been tempted by a demon or a god .
Leonard Cohen
Image
From bitter searching of the heart, quickened with passion and with pain we rise to play a greater part this is the faith from which we start.
Leonard Cohen

As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.

I cannot understand why my arm is not a lilac tree.

It's time that we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.

Growing old becomes clear to you at a certain point. I think it's after the age of 70 you realize - you begin to actually be convinced - you're growing older.
