“I heard of a man
who says words so beautifully
that if he only speaks their name

while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips
it is because I hear a man climb stairs
and clear his throat outside our door.”
― Leonard Cohen

“True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.”
