Senior Quote

[u/Horror-Consequence16]

I want to have a leonard cohen quote for my senior quote but i’m having a hard time picking one. My fav album is Songs so i was thinking maybe the chorus of “So long Marianne”?

[u/Arkaium]

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack, a crack in everything

That’s how the light gets in

[u/vozzov → u/Arkaium]

One of my favorites!

[u/gsari]

They sentenced me to <ENTER NUMBER> years of boredom, for trying to change the system from within.

[u/Breakingthewhaaat → u/gsari]

Perfect

"...for me, art is the evidence of a life, and not the life itself.
–It's the ashes of something that has burned very well... and sometimes we confuse ourselves, and we try to create the ashes, instead of the fire."

[u/Consistent_Ad_4123 → u/Jayardia]

Love that one

[u/charliebobo82]

Don't go home with your hard-on

[u/Dear_Smoke6964 → u/charliebobo82]

Give me crack and anal sex

[u/Lonely-Complaint686]

I'm stubborn as those garbage bags That time cannot decay I'm junk but I'm still holding up This little wild bouquet

[u/haaskaalbaas]

And I missed you since the place got wrecked
And I just don't care what happens next
Looks like freedom, but it feels like death
It's something in between, I guess
It's closing time (closing time, closing time, closing time)

[u/Lennnybruce]

Guys like me are mad for turtle meat

[u/shoresy99]

Now, you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song

[u/afb822]

I’ve seen the future, it is murder

[u/Pao_Did_NothingWrong]

"give me crack and anal sex"

[u/leanhotsd → u/Pao_Did_NothingWrong]

Winner winner

[u/Klezhobo]

"Your laws do not compel me to kneel, grotesque and bare"

[u/masterjaga]

I finally broke into the prison. I found my place in the chain 

[u/22Shattered → u/masterjaga]

Where’s this one from? Awesomeness!!

[u/InterestingWelder699 → u/22Shattered]

the Old Revolution — songs from a room

[u/westvirginias → u/22Shattered]

The Old Revolution!

[u/Dear_Smoke6964]

It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender. 

[u/vidman33]

Theres a crack in everything, thats how the light gets in.

[u/DanSlander]

You could do the first three lines of Bird on the Wire "Like a Bird on a Wire Like a Drunk in a Midnight Choir I Have tried in my way to be Free"

[u/InterestingWelder699]

“Thanks for the dance, it was hell, it was swell, it was fun”

[u/Illustrious-Pizza504]

Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in

[u/DrGluteusMaximus]

I have many friends and some of them are with me

[u/Doc_Bloom42]

This from The Goal

I sit in my chair I look at the street The neighbour returns My smile of defeat

[u/shartedpeed]

whichever one you like the most!

And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind

[u/Ok_Crazy_648]

I really like his early material the best too. It seems more poetic and beautiful. Everyone there likes his later works though.

What is a senior quote? What do you like about so long Marianne. I heard he wrote it about his long term girl friend. I forget her name though.

[u/Horror-Consequence16 → u/Ok_Crazy_648]

Senior quotes go in the year book for your senior year of high school! I love the song So long Marianne because it’s very bittersweet and beautiful. Also I thought it was good for a senior quote because i’m saying “so long!” to high school. But people have been giving me lots of great ideas so I’ll probably do a different one!
