More quotes by Leonard Cohen
I am not the one who loves - It's love that chooses me. When hatred with his package comes, you forbid delivery...
Leonard Cohen
You have to keep cracking yourself open or you become a parody of yourself.
Leonard Cohen
I hope we [with Patrick Leonard] can come up with something orchestral with some spoken material. And I also, God willing, hope that perhaps another record of songs also might emerge, but one never knows.
Leonard Cohen
A woman watches her body uneasily, as though it were an unreliable ally in the battle for love.
Leonard Cohen
Avoid the flourish. Do not be afraid to be weak. Do not be ashamed to be tired. You look good when you’re tired. You look like you could go on forever. Now come into my arms. You are the image of my beauty .
Leonard Cohen
It doesn't matter what you do because it's going to happen anyway.
Leonard Cohen
I don't know which side is anybody on any more. I don't really care. There is a moment when we have to transcend the side we're on and understand that we are creatures of a higher order.
Leonard Cohen
I don't think you can write novels on the road. You need a certain stability.
Leonard Cohen
The term clinical depression finds its way into too many conversations these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe has occurred in the psychic landscape.
Leonard Cohen
It’s a depressing habit you have of loving to sneeze and of eating apples as if they were juicier for you and being the first one to exclaim how good the movie is. You depress people. We like apples too.
Leonard Cohen
Please make me empty, if I'm empty then I can receive, if I can receive it means it comes from somewhere outside of me, if it comes from outside of me I'm not alone! I cannot bear this loneliness. Above all it is loneliness.
Leonard Cohen
I’ll be marching through the morning, Marching through the night, Moving 'cross the borders Of My Secret Life.
Leonard Cohen
I think that really what our training, what our culture, our religious institutions, our educational and cultural institutions should be about is preparing the heart for that journey outside of the cage of the ribs.
Leonard Cohen
May everyone live, And may everyone die. Hello, my love, And my love, Goodbye.
Leonard Cohen
Israel, and you who call yourself Israel, the Church that calls itself Israel, and the revolt that calls itself Israel, and every nation chosen to be a nation - none of these lands is yours, all of you are thieves of holiness, all of you at war with Mercy.
Leonard Cohen
Get ready for the future: it is murder.
Leonard Cohen
It’s a pity if someone… has to console himself for the wreck of his days with the notion that somehow his voice, his work embodies the deepest, most obscure, freshest, rawest oyster of reality in the unfathomable refrigerator of the heart’s ocean, but I am such a one, and there you have it.
Leonard Cohen
You lose your grip, and then you slip into the Masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes one kind.
Leonard Cohen
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to. And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you.
Leonard Cohen
