Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.
Leonard Cohen
There are a few things that deal with passion. There's Prozac.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Today [people] are ready to take emergency cures, whatever they are, if it's violence, if it's a fascination with serial killing or whatever - the discomfort is so intense. Maybe it's always been like that, certainly it is now.
Leonard Cohen
All the lousy little poets coming around trying to sound like Charles Manson.
Leonard Cohen
ordinary eternal machinery, like the grinding of the stars
Leonard Cohen
You have money, fame, youth, beauty, talent. That's a good start... for feeling good.
Leonard Cohen
