I finally broke into the prison I found my place in the chain Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows
Leonard Cohen
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
Leonard Cohen
We are awakening from the dream of isolation, from the dream of loneliness, and it's a terrible shock.

Leonard Cohen
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.

I'm neither left or right. I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
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
I guess you go for nothing, if you really want to go that far.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
As a young man, Yeats spoke to me in a way I could understand. Shakespeare I couldn't understand, but Yeats I could. It was his subject matter and also I really admired the way he put his personal life on the line.
Leonard Cohen
In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.
Leonard Cohen
Women stand for the objective world for a man. They stand for the thing that you're not and that's what you always reach for in a song.
Leonard Cohen
You should go from place to place recovering the poems that have been written for you to which you can affix your signature. Don't discuss these matters with anyone. Retrieve. Retrieve. When the basket is full someone will appear to whom you can present it.
Leonard Cohen
Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
I want to be paid for my work, not work for my pay.
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.

Leonard Cohen
