More quotes by Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
You lose your grip, and then you slip into the Masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
No one's ever done one of my songs badly. People say to me, God, so-and-so wrecked that song. Well, I'm unaware of it. Anybody doing one of my tunes has earned my gratitude, and I don't get that many covers where I have the luxury to choose.
Leonard Cohen
Act the way you'd like to be and soon you'll be the way you act.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
The wars they will be fought again The holy dove be caught again bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free.
Leonard Cohen
I won't comment on what Bob Dylan said, but I will comment on his receiving the Nobel Prize, which to me is like pinning a medal on Mount Everest for being the highest mountain.
Leonard Cohen
I didn't want to write for pay. I wanted to be paid for what I write.
Leonard Cohen
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen
I'm never sure why I do anything, to tell you the truth.
Leonard Cohen
I've forgotten most of what I've read and, frankly, it never seemed very important to me or to the world.
Leonard Cohen
I guess you go for nothing, if you really want to go that far.
Leonard Cohen
Every heart to Love will come, but like a refugee
Leonard Cohen
I cannot understand why my arm is not a lilac tree.
Leonard Cohen
I bargain now. I offer buttons for his love.
Leonard Cohen
