Quotes for Today....

There's a blaze of light in every word,
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy, or the broken, hallelujah.

I did my best, it wasn't much,
I could not feel, so I tried to touch;
I told the truth, I didn't come to fool you.
And even though it all went wrong,
I'll stand before the Lord of song
with nothing on my tongue but 'Hallelujah'.

(Leonard Cohen: Hallelujah)


He said, 'You can't conceive, my child, nor can I or anyone -
the ... appalling ... strangeness of the mercy of God'

(Graham Greene: Brighton Rock)
