"As I grew older, I understood that instructions……" — Leonard Cohen

"As I grew older, I understood that instructions came with this voice. What were these instructions? The instructions were never to lament casually. And if one is to express the great inevitable defeat that awaits us all, it must be done within the strict confines of dignity and beauty."

Leonard Cohen
