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
I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong, I will make it all up to thee.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
The cutting of the gem has to be finished before you can see whether it shines.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
The dreamers ride against the men of action. Oh see the men of action falling back.
Leonard Cohen
Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard Cohen
Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique.
Leonard Cohen
Growing old becomes clear to you at a certain point. I think it's after the age of 70 you realize - you begin to actually be convinced - you're growing older.
Leonard Cohen
I bargain now. I offer buttons for his love.
Leonard Cohen
A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.
Leonard Cohen
You win a while, and then it’s done - Your little winning streak.
Leonard Cohen
I always considered myself a minor writer. My province is small, and I try to explore it very, very thoroughly.
Leonard Cohen
