More quotes by Leonard Cohen
I've seen the future and it's murder.
Leonard Cohen
Today [people] are ready to take emergency cures, whatever they are, if it's violence, if it's a fascination with serial killing or whatever - the discomfort is so intense. Maybe it's always been like that, certainly it is now.
Leonard Cohen
I'm neither left or right. I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
Leonard Cohen
After a while, if you are sufficiently bored or unemployed, you may want to read it from cover to cover.
Leonard Cohen
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy, golden storm, yes many loved before us, I know we are not new, in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, but now it's come to distances and both of us must try, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
Leonard Cohen
even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.
Leonard Cohen
A community is an alibi for the failure of individual love.
Leonard Cohen
I try to make those references. I try to make sure that they're not too obscure. But outside of that, I dare not claim anything in the spiritual realm for my own.
Leonard Cohen
And may my bronze name / touch always her thousand fingers / grow brighter with her weeping / until I am fixed like a galaxy / and memorized / in her secret and fragile skies.
Leonard Cohen
The art of longing's over, and it's never coming back.
Leonard Cohen
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love.
Leonard Cohen
In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.
Leonard Cohen
I would like to work with Pat [ Leonard] in any capacity. I would love to hear his versions.
Leonard Cohen
Coroner's inquest: death by drowning. And he hasn't been to the sea-shore in ten years.
Leonard Cohen
Be With Me In The Phases Of My Work Because My Brain Feels Like It Has Been Whipped And I Yearn To Make A Small Perfect Thing Which Will Live In Your Morning Like Curious Static Through A President's Elegy Or A Nude Hunchback Acquiring A Tan On The Crowded Oily Beach.
Leonard Cohen
I bargain now. I offer buttons for his love.
Leonard Cohen
Seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armor themselves against wonder.
Leonard Cohen
The less I was of who I was, the better I felt.
Leonard Cohen
there's no forsaking what you love no existential leap as witnessed here in time and blood a thousand kisses deep
Leonard Cohen
Does anybody have a cigarette? I'm looking forward to that first smoke. I've been looking forward to [it] for about 30 years.
Leonard Cohen
