More quotes by 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
There are no letters in the mailbox And there are no grapes upon the vine And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore And there are no diamonds in the mine
Leonard Cohen
At the very center of our culture is a crucified man, a tortured man hanging on a cross of wood. You have an image of violence at the very center of our spiritual investigation.
Leonard Cohen
I couldn't feel so I learned to touch.
Leonard Cohen
Ah, grief makes us precise!
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

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear.
Leonard Cohen
I am not the one who loves - It's love that chooses me. When hatred with his package comes, you forbid delivery...
Leonard Cohen
I've seen the future and it's murder.
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
Dream after dream we all lie in each other's arms
Leonard Cohen
How can I begin anything new with all of yesterday in me?
Leonard Cohen
One is distracted by this notion that there is such an thing as inspiration, that it comes fast and easy. And some people are graced by that style. I'm not. So I have to work as hard as any stiff to come up with my payload
Leonard Cohen
Here's to the few who forgive what you do, and the fewer who don't even care
Leonard Cohen
Fare thee well my nightingale, I lived but to be near you. Thow you are singing somewhere still I can no longer hear you.
Leonard Cohen
Never make a decision when you need to pee.
Leonard Cohen
