Leonard Cohen, speaking of Jesus Christ:

Last edited Sat Oct 20, 2018, 05:01 PM - Edit history (1)

I’m very fond of Jesus Christ. He may be the most beautiful guy who walked the face of this earth. Any guy who says “Blessed are the poor. Blessed are the meek” has got to be a figure of unparallelled generosity and insight and madness…A man who declared himself to stand among the thieves, the prostitutes and the homeless. His position cannot be comprehended. It is an inhuman generosity. A generosity that would overthrow the world if it was embraced because nothing would weather that compassion.


An interesting view from a man who explored many paths in his life journey.
