More quotes by Leonard Cohen
My page was too white My ink was too thin The day wouldn't write What the night pencilled in.
Leonard Cohen
Here is your cross, Your nails and your hill And here is your love, That lists where it will
Leonard Cohen
Ah, grief makes us precise!
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. A good song, a good lyric is a movie: it will just focus and calm and confer significance on this completely bewildering reality that all of us live in.
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
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
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich / Thats how it goes / Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen
Poetry is a verdict rather than an intention.
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
He can love the shape of human beings, the fine and twisted shapes of the heart. It is good to have among us such men, such balancing monsters of love.
Leonard Cohen
After a while, if you are sufficiently bored or unemployed, you may want to read it from cover to cover.
Leonard Cohen
I noticed that when I was on Prozac my relationship with the landscape improved. I actually stopped thinking about myself for a minute or two, because most of the thoughts one has about oneself are involved with desire or loneliness or isolation or strategies to overcome them.
Leonard Cohen
I loved you for a long, long time I know this love is real It don't matter how it all went wrong That don't change the way I feel And I can't believe that time's Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of There ain't no cure for love
Leonard Cohen
I won't comment on what Bob Dylan said, but I will comment on his receiving the Nobel Prize, which to me is like pinning a medal on Mount Everest for being the highest mountain.
Leonard Cohen
Only in Canada could somebody with a voice like mine win 'Vocalist of the Year'.
Leonard Cohen
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth One more thin gypsy thief... Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried... And Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear.
Leonard Cohen
And most people have a woman in their heart, most men have a woman in their heart and most women have a man in their heart.
Leonard Cohen
A sip of wine, a cigarette, And then it’s time to go. I tidied up the kitchenette I tuned the old banjo. I’m wanted at the traffic-jam. They’re saving me a seat.
Leonard Cohen
If you're squeezed for information, / that's when you've got to play it dumb: / You just say you're out there waiting / for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Leonard Cohen
One is given to self-dramatization from time to time. I intend to live forever.
Leonard Cohen
