This quote accidently fell into my lap today and it made my day:
' As you get older, you get less willing to buy the latest version of reality'
Leonard Cohen, Musician Magazine, 1988
Just a Leonard Cohen quote
Just a Leonard Cohen quote
We are going to face infinity, whether we like it or not. Why do it when we are weak, broken, at the moment of dying. Why not when we are strong. Why not now? C.Castaneda
Re: Just a Leonard Cohen quote
A wonderful quote, I nearly run my life on a line from one of his songs -
There is a crack in everything, that's where the light gets in
So true.

Re: Just a Leonard Cohen quote
I do love this quote by LC. I have to admit, however, that I do buy the latest version of reality. It's what is.

Re: Just a Leonard Cohen quote
yeah he's got so beautiful ways how to accept our ambiguities
I love his contradictions therefore
Such as
Your letter they all say you're with me now,
so why do I feel so alone?

Re: Just a Leonard Cohen quote
For the sake of presenting the other side of the coin, if it's the latest version of reality, it must not be a standard to live by, right? I mean, who really wants to change their lives by the status quo's version of reality? Don't think I'll buy.remarkblz wrote:I do love this quote by LC.

and from another perspective, Leonard has said "as you get older, you start to realize the reality that you are not entirely in charge"remarkblz wrote:This quote accidently fell into my lap today and it made my day:

That line really is one of the most inspiring and cheering lines of Leonard's. And also part of a great song too!angi wrote:A wonderful quote, I nearly run my life on a line from one of his songs -
