Raise a million filters and the rain will not be clean, until the longing for it be refined in deep confession. And still we hear, If only this nation had a soul, or, Let us change the way we trade, or, Let us be proud of our region. – Leonard Cohen
To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nations sweetest dreams of itself. – Leonard Cohen
The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world. – Leonard Cohen
This is my depressed stance. When youre depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then youll start to feel better. If youre going to get any joy out of being depressed, youve got to stand like this. – Charles Monroe Schulz
