More quotes by Leonard Cohen
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing Every time you gave them shelter. I know that kind of man It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
Leonard Cohen
My page was too white My ink was too thin The day wouldn't write What the night pencilled in.
Leonard Cohen
I've always held the song in high regard because songs have got me through so many sinks of dishes and so many humiliating courting events.
Leonard Cohen
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.
Leonard Cohen
To keep our hearts open is probably the most urgent responsibility you have as you get older.
Leonard Cohen
It’s a pity if someone… has to console himself for the wreck of his days with the notion that somehow his voice, his work embodies the deepest, most obscure, freshest, rawest oyster of reality in the unfathomable refrigerator of the heart’s ocean, but I am such a one, and there you have it.
Leonard Cohen
I can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen
The Maestro says it's Mozart but it sounds like bubble gum when you're waiting for the miracle to come.
Leonard Cohen
All the lousy little poets coming around trying to sound like Charles Manson.
Leonard Cohen
Seriousness is the deepest pleasure we have.
Leonard Cohen
[Prozac] didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever on my melancholy, my dark vision, and everything else that I'd taken it for.
Leonard Cohen
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich / Thats how it goes / Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen
No one's ever done one of my songs badly. People say to me, God, so-and-so wrecked that song. Well, I'm unaware of it. Anybody doing one of my tunes has earned my gratitude, and I don't get that many covers where I have the luxury to choose.
Leonard Cohen
I hope we [with Patrick Leonard] can come up with something orchestral with some spoken material. And I also, God willing, hope that perhaps another record of songs also might emerge, but one never knows.
Leonard Cohen
We're in a world where there's famine and hunger and people are dodging bullets and having their nails pulled out in dungeons so it's very hard for me to place any high value on the work that I do to write a song. Yeah, I work hard but compared to what?
Leonard Cohen
I had the title poet, and maybe I was one for a while. Also, the title singer was kindly accorded me, even though I could barely carry a tune.
Leonard Cohen
As soon as anybody does one of my songs, I rejoice. This particular case of all these great singers doing my work - the implications are very rich and the temptation to think of the outcome of these masses of the mainstream injecting my work into the marketplace, it's a very sweet speculation.
Leonard Cohen
The art of longing's over, and it's never coming back.
Leonard Cohen
I would like to work with Pat [ Leonard] in any capacity. I would love to hear his versions.
Leonard Cohen
Take one step to the side and it's all absurd.
Leonard Cohen
