A saint does not dissolve chaos; if he did the world would have changed long ago. I do not think that a saint dissolves the chaos even for himself, for there is something arrogant and warlike in the notion of a man setting the universe in order. It is a kind of balance that is his glory.
Leonard Cohen, Beautiful Losers
despite its raging perversities, this book is elegant and insightful. congrats, Cohen. i can’t stand your voice, but i love your words.
