More quotes by Leonard Cohen
My two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico Garcia Lorca.
Leonard Cohen
The blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it's overturned the order of the soul.
Leonard Cohen
I don't know which side is anybody on any more. I don't really care. There is a moment when we have to transcend the side we're on and understand that we are creatures of a higher order.
Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking. Everybody knows the captain lied. Everybody got this broken feeling, like their father or their dog just died. Everybody talking to their pockets. Everybody wants a box of chocolates and a long-stem rose. Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen
Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard Cohen
All the lousy little poets coming around trying to sound like Charles Manson.
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
It just takes a long time for me [to write a song]. I'm very slow. And it comes, kind of, by dribbles and drops.
Leonard Cohen
When you're younger, you do have that thing that you were talking about where the mouth goes dry. I mean you have reactions, and you do fall in love.
Leonard Cohen
My mind was always very cluttered, so I took great pains to simplify my environment, because if my environment were half as cluttered as my mind, I wouldn't be able to make it from room to room. This system has just worked for me, even though I've had to sweat over every word. It's just my style.
Leonard Cohen
When you stop thinking about yourself all the time, a certain sense of repose overtakes you.
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 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
The Dream O I had such a wonderful dream, she said. I dreamed you made love to me. At last, he said to himself, the spirit has taken up some of the heavy work.
Leonard Cohen
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask. If you want a different kind of love I'll wear a mask. If you want to strike me down in anger here I stand. If you want a partner in life take my hand. I'm your man.
Leonard Cohen
This civil action is another case of a tragedy that has become all too familiar in the music industry: a business manager and professional advisers exploit an immensely talented artist's loyalty and trust through greed, self-dealing, concealment, knowing misrepresentation and reckless disregard for professional fiduciary duties.
Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows the dice are loaded.
Leonard Cohen
even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.
Leonard Cohen
There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn't.
Leonard Cohen
Your servant here, he has been told to say it clear, to say it cold: It's over, it ain't going any further And now the wheels of heaven stop you feel the devil's riding crop Get ready for the future: it is murder
Leonard Cohen
