Coroner's inquest: death by drowning. And he hasn't been to the sea-shore in ten years.
Leonard Cohen
Image
And I'll dance with you in Vienna, I'll be wearing a river's disguise. The hyacinth wild on my shoulder my mouth on the dew of your thighs. And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook, with the photographs there and the moss. And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty, my cheap violin and my cross.
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.

Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard Cohen
Image
What is most original in a man's nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn't have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.
Leonard Cohen
Image
From bitter searching of the heart, quickened with passion and with pain we rise to play a greater part this is the faith from which we start.

I don't think you can write novels on the road. You need a certain stability.
Leonard Cohen

I think culture's always been violent, and it is something we find very entertaining. Not only does it reflect our social reality, but it also reflects our psychic reality.
Leonard Cohen

It's time that we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Leonard Cohen

I'm never sure why I do anything, to tell you the truth.

Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love.

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love
