More quotes by Leonard Cohen
We actually lead very violent, passionate lives and I think that we're hungry for insights into this condition. That's why we get all that stuff on television. It's really where we are, really what we are.
Leonard Cohen
The psychologists are valiantly trying to provide us with answers, the religious people are trying to provide us with answers. I think it properly falls on the cultural workers to investigate this predicament with a little less concern for the marketplace and a little more concern for their higher calling.
Leonard Cohen
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen
Seriousness is the deepest pleasure we have.
Leonard Cohen
Only in Canada could somebody with a voice like mine win 'Vocalist of the Year'.
Leonard Cohen
I bargain now. I offer buttons for his love.
Leonard Cohen
It just takes a long time for me [to write a song]. I'm very slow. And it comes, kind of, by dribbles and drops.
Leonard Cohen
I think what we like about music - and what we like about art in general....is that enterprise that stops our minds from spinning. Because we're always all over the place. A good song, a good lyric is a movie: it will just focus and calm and confer significance on this completely bewildering reality that all of us live in.
Leonard Cohen
Adam [Cohen] is a great singer-songwriter in his own right.
Leonard Cohen
I loved you for a long, long time I know this love is real It don't matter how it all went wrong That don't change the way I feel And I can't believe that time's Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of There ain't no cure for love
Leonard Cohen
And most people have a woman in their heart, most men have a woman in their heart and most women have a man in their heart.
Leonard Cohen
The fact that my songs take a long time to write is no guarantee of their excellence.
Leonard Cohen
Every heart to Love will come, but like a refugee
Leonard Cohen
You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal.
Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed, Everybody knows that the war is over, Everybody knows the good guys lost.
Leonard Cohen
Sail on, sail on, o' might Ship of State. To the shores of need, past the reefs of greed, through the squalls of hate. Sail on, sail on, sail on.
Leonard Cohen
The less I was of who I was, the better I felt.
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
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
My mind was always very cluttered, so I took great pains to simplify my environment, because if my environment were half as cluttered as my mind, I wouldn't be able to make it from room to room. This system has just worked for me, even though I've had to sweat over every word. It's just my style.
Leonard Cohen
