Happy birthday to Leonard Cohen (1932-2016), poet, novelist, and singer-songwriter whose work carried an existential bite and explored themes like religion, politics, isolation, depression, sexuality, loss, and romantic relationships. 
"There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in."
"If you don't become the ocean, you'll be seasick every day."
"I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah"
"Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free"
