Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard CohenPrayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered.
Leonard CohenI see people allowing their lives to diminish, to become shallow, so they can't enjoy the deep wells of experience. Maybe it's always been this way, when the heart tends to shut down. If only the heart shut down and there were no repercussions, it would be O.K., but when the heart shuts down, the whole system goes into a kind of despair that is intolerable.
Leonard Cohen
