More quotes by Leonard Cohen
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.
Leonard Cohen
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love.
Leonard Cohen
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
Leonard Cohen
I heard of a man who says words so beautifully that if he only speaks their name women give themselves to him. If I am dumb beside your body while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips it is because I hear a man climb stairs and clear his throat outside our door.
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
The Maestro says it's Mozart but it sounds like bubble gum when you're waiting for the miracle to come.
Leonard Cohen
It's inappropriate for an elderly chap to register, you know, authentically, his feelings, you know, because they really can be interpreted. So you have to get quite covert as you get older. Or you have to find some avuncular way, you know, of responding.
Leonard Cohen
Take one step to the side and it's all absurd.
Leonard Cohen
The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.
Leonard Cohen
When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.
Leonard Cohen
Seriousness is the deepest pleasure we have.
Leonard Cohen
As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
Leonard Cohen
We are awakening from the dream of isolation, from the dream of loneliness, and it's a terrible shock.
Leonard Cohen
There are a few things that deal with passion. There's Prozac.
Leonard Cohen
Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique.
Leonard Cohen
Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard Cohen
I had the title poet, and maybe I was one for a while. Also, the title singer was kindly accorded me, even though I could barely carry a tune.
Leonard Cohen
My reputation as a ladies' man was a joke that caused me to laugh bitterly through the ten thousand nights I spent alone.
Leonard Cohen
Every heart to Love will come, but like a refugee
Leonard Cohen
The less I was of who I was, the better I felt.
Leonard Cohen
