More quotes by Leonard Cohen
I didn't want to write for pay. I wanted to be paid for what I write.
Leonard Cohen
It was a dance of masks and every mask was perfect because every mask was a real face and every face was a real mask so there was no mask and there was no face for there was but one dance in which there was but one mask but one true face which was the same and which was a thing without a name which changed and changed into itself over and over.
Leonard Cohen
Be With Me In The Phases Of My Work Because My Brain Feels Like It Has Been Whipped And I Yearn To Make A Small Perfect Thing Which Will Live In Your Morning Like Curious Static Through A President's Elegy Or A Nude Hunchback Acquiring A Tan On The Crowded Oily Beach.
Leonard Cohen
Yes, you who must leave everything that you cannot control, It begins with your family, and soon it comes round to your soul. Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned: When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned.
Leonard Cohen
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
Leonard Cohen
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
Leonard Cohen
I guess you go for nothing, if you really want to go that far.
Leonard Cohen
You have to keep cracking yourself open or you become a parody of yourself.
Leonard Cohen
No penance serves to renew them, no massive transfusions of trust. Why not even revenge can undo them, so twisted these vows and so crushed.
Leonard Cohen
You win a while, and then it’s done - Your little winning streak.
Leonard Cohen
Probably all cultures, certainly Western culture, always have been violent.
Leonard Cohen
Adam [Cohen] is a great singer-songwriter in his own right.
Leonard Cohen
Love is a fire/It burns everyone/It disfigures everyone/It is the world's excuse for being ugly.
Leonard Cohen
I try to make those references. I try to make sure that they're not too obscure. But outside of that, I dare not claim anything in the spiritual realm for my own.
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
My page was too white My ink was too thin The day wouldn't write What the night pencilled in.
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
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
I've forgotten most of what I've read and, frankly, it never seemed very important to me or to the world.
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
