The famous line, «There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in, ” is taken from Leonard Cohen’s song „Anthem, ” which appears on his 1992 album The Future. It translates to: „In everything there is a crack; through it, the light gets in.“
These words are a reminder that we should not worry about perfection. Mistakes are the cracks that help us see the truth—the light—and make everyone stronger.
The poster features an imperfect signature: „Light shines through this crack.“ It was written by a child because kids are not subjected to stereotypes the way adults are, nor are they limited by social boundaries. For this reason, they do not fear making mistakes or being „different.“
