More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Please make me empty, if I'm empty then I can receive, if I can receive it means it comes from somewhere outside of me, if it comes from outside of me I'm not alone! I cannot bear this loneliness. Above all it is loneliness.
Leonard Cohen
To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation's sweetest dreams of itself.
Leonard Cohen
No one masters the heart.
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
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
Poetry is a verdict rather than an intention.
Leonard Cohen
I feel that this is a vocabulary that I grew up with. This biblical landscape is very familiar to me, and it's natural that I use those landmarks as references. Once they were universal references and everybody understood and knew them and located them. That's no longer the case today, but it is still my landscape.
Leonard Cohen
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
Leonard Cohen
From bitter searching of the heart, quickened with passion and with pain we rise to play a greater part this is the faith from which we start.
Leonard Cohen
Every heart to Love will come, but like a refugee
Leonard Cohen
I’ve seen the nations rise and fall. I’ve heard their stories, heard them all, but love’s the only engine of survival.
Leonard Cohen
Rust rust rust in the engines of love and time.
Leonard Cohen
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to. And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you.
Leonard Cohen
Your servant here, he has been told to say it clear, to say it cold: It's over, it ain't going any further And now the wheels of heaven stop you feel the devil's riding crop Get ready for the future: it is murder
Leonard Cohen
The blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it's overturned the order of the soul.
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
It's hard to be serious about so many things. [Look at the whole emphasis] on the charts, if you're a songwriter.
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
First of all nothing will happen and a little later nothing will happen again.
Leonard Cohen
Maybe we, the cultural workers , could apply ourselves. We're not going to resolve it in this moment or even in this generation, but perhaps as some kind of agenda we could invite our writers and cultural workers to address the problem a little more responsibly, because people are suffering tremendously from a want of data.
Leonard Cohen
