Ring the bells that can still ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.
— Leonard Cohen

This is one of my favorite quotes.

    As a photographer, this is one of my favorite quotes ever. As a writer too. Heck, as a human!

      I can understand why a photographer could relate to this quote. You are right, though, everyone can find comfort in these words.
