More quotes by Leonard Cohen
I don't have any spiritual strategy.
Leonard Cohen
It's like a bear stumbling into a beehive or a honey cache: I'm stumbling right into it and getting stuck, and it's delicious and it's horrible and I'm in it and it's not very graceful and it's very awkward and it's very painful and yet there's something inevitable about it.
Leonard Cohen
Growing old becomes clear to you at a certain point. I think it's after the age of 70 you realize - you begin to actually be convinced - you're growing older.
Leonard Cohen
And here you are hurried, And here you are gone And here is the love, That it's all built upon.
Leonard Cohen
Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.
Leonard Cohen
The big change is the proximity to death.
Leonard Cohen
The less I was of who I was, the better I felt.
Leonard Cohen
I smile when I'm angry , I cheat and I lie. I do what I have to do to get by. But I know what is wrong and I know what is right , and I'd die for the truth in my secret life .
Leonard Cohen
Your body will never be familiar.
Leonard Cohen
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
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
Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique.
Leonard Cohen
Although only one man may be receiving the favors of a woman, all men in her presence are warmed. That's the great Generosity of women and the great generosity of the Creator who worked it out is that there are no unilateral agreements on sexuality.
Leonard Cohen
When you stop thinking about yourself all the time, a certain sense of repose overtakes you.
Leonard Cohen
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
Leonard Cohen
You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal.
Leonard Cohen
Take one step to the side and it's all absurd.
Leonard Cohen
I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others it's for others to use.
Leonard Cohen
Out of the thousands who are known or who want to be known as poets, maybe one or two are genuine and the rest are fakes, hanging around the sacred precincts, trying to look like the real thing.
Leonard Cohen
I cannot understand why my arm is not a lilac tree.
Leonard Cohen
