It's four in the morning, the end of december I'm writing you now just to see if you're better. - Leonard Cohen

We did no train ourselves to receive, because we believed there wasn't anything to receive and we could not endure with this belief.

Act the way you'd like to be and soon you'll be the way you act.

I have no program, I have no five-year plan. … It doesn’t mean that you shouldn't have one! I just move from hotel to hotel, and from bar to bar, and by the grace of the One above occasionally a song comes, and I remember sitting at this particularly obnoxious Polynesian restaurant where they served a kind of coconut drink that was particularly lethal and sinister which contained no alcohol but a certain chemical that demoralized you entirely. And I remember writing on one of their very badly designed napkins, "I remember you well at the Chelsea Hotel..." so I dedicate this song to one of the great singers, Janis Joplin.
