What’s True Out There?
People often think Ernest Hemingway said “We are all broken, that’s how the light gets in”, but that isn’t true. It’s the perfect example of internet misinformation.
Too often, ideas and words on the internet swirl around to create wrong ideas. Why? The internet is a place of free speech. Ernest Hemingway never wrote those words, but Leonard Cohen came close in his lyrics for the song Anthem:
“There is a crack, a crack, in everything. That’s how the light gets in.
–Leonard Cohen
