All truth is one. In this light may science and religion endeavor here for the steady evolution of mankind. From darkness to light, from narrowness to broad-mindedness, from prejudice to tolerance, it is the voice of life, which calls us to come and learn. - (Inscription discovered by Stoll, inscribed on the bell atop Hays Hall at his undergraduate university. He recounted this experience in his talk at the TED Conference in February, 2006.)

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
Cohen: "If I did have a coherent philosophy, that song articulated it. It took me an awful long time to write. I never could get that last line."

The Aegean light had a quality that Cohen felt contributed to his work. “There’s something in the light that’s honest and philosophical,” he told a journalist in 1963. “You can’t betray yourself intellectually, it invites your soul to loaf.”
Only the bell tower of the cathedral attached to the Monastery of the Virgin’s Assumption disrupts the horizontal tableau. The structure of the town emulates the classical theatre of Epitaurus, with the port the equivalent of the orchestra.
