From B&B: The phrase "That's how the light gets in" is often attributed to the famous singer and songwriter Leonard Cohen. It appears in his song "Anthem," which is part of his 1992 album "The Future." The specific line in the song goes, "Ring the bells that still can ring, forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." In this context, we are expressing the idea that imperfections and flaws are an inherent part of life, and it's through these imperfections that beauty and enlightenment can emerge. We interpret the saying to mean that, even in difficult or imperfect situations, there is hope and opportunity for growth and positivity.
