Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.

More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Seriousness is the deepest pleasure we have.
Leonard Cohen
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.
Leonard Cohen
I don't have any spiritual strategy.
Leonard Cohen
You should go from place to place recovering the poems that have been written for you to which you can affix your signature. Don't discuss these matters with anyone. Retrieve. Retrieve. When the basket is full someone will appear to whom you can present it.
Leonard Cohen
You who build these altars now to sacrifice these children , you must not do it anymore. A scheme is not a vision and you never have been tempted by a demon or a god .
Leonard Cohen
There are a few things that deal with passion. There's Prozac.
Leonard Cohen
Why don't you try to do without him, why don't you try to live alone? Do you really need his hands for your passion? Do you really need his heart for your throne? Do you need his labor for your baby? Do you need his beast for the bone? Do you need to hold a leash to be a lady? I know that you can make it, you can make it on your own.
Leonard Cohen
Some people are graced with a flow some people are graced with something less than a flow. I'm one of those.
Leonard Cohen
I'm never sure why I do anything, to tell you the truth.
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
I always considered myself a minor writer. My province is small, and I try to explore it very, very thoroughly.
Leonard Cohen
After a while, if you are sufficiently bored or unemployed, you may want to read it from cover to cover.
Leonard Cohen
One is given to self-dramatization from time to time. I intend to live forever.
Leonard Cohen
What is most original in a man's nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn't have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.
Leonard Cohen
Women stand for the objective world for a man. They stand for the thing that you're not and that's what you always reach for in a song.
Leonard Cohen
This civil action is another case of a tragedy that has become all too familiar in the music industry: a business manager and professional advisers exploit an immensely talented artist's loyalty and trust through greed, self-dealing, concealment, knowing misrepresentation and reckless disregard for professional fiduciary duties.
Leonard Cohen
The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.
Leonard Cohen
And here you are hurried, And here you are gone And here is the love, That it's all built upon.
Leonard Cohen
I read with some amusement my reputation as a ladies' man. My friends are amused by that, too, because they know my life.
Leonard Cohen
Follow me, the wise man said, but he walked behind.
Leonard Cohen
