Maugham on originality, Cohen on Cracks

The world in general doesn't know what to make of originality;  it is
startled out of its comfortable habits of thought, and its first reaction
is one of anger.

    -- W. Somerset Maugham, writer (1874-1965)

There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.

   -- Leonard Cohen, musician (1934- )
