A great opportunity

When you consider the fact of our little journey on the crust of this star, and the number of bridges, barriers, differentiations, diversions that we manage to construct for ourselves, to have an opportunity to dissolve them is really… a great opportunity. Because that moment is precisely there to dissolve those distinctions. If you don’t have moments when the distinctions are dissolved, then you become a very narrow, bitter, prejudiced, dogmatic kind of individual. Like I am most of the time. But from time to time I am permitted to dissolve these things.

— Leonard Cohen
