More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Just to get serious about this thing, you know. One has to be compassionate. It's true that people are up against things, economically and emotionally.
Leonard Cohen
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.
Leonard Cohen
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.
Leonard Cohen
I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong, I will make it all up to thee.
Leonard Cohen
Journalists, especially English journalists, were very cruel to me. They said I only knew three chords when I knew five!
Leonard Cohen
A community is an alibi for the failure of individual love.
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
Maybe there's a god above but the only thing I learned from love was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you.
Leonard Cohen
Does anybody have a cigarette? I'm looking forward to that first smoke. I've been looking forward to [it] for about 30 years.
Leonard Cohen
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
Leonard Cohen
We used to play music for fun. Much more than now. Now nobody picks up a guitar unless they're paid for it.
Leonard Cohen
My two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico Garcia Lorca.
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 what can I tell you, my brother, my killer, what can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you, I'm glad you stood in my way
Leonard Cohen
Why don't you try to do without him, why don't you try to live alone? Do you really need his hands for your passion? Do you really need his heart for your throne? Do you need his labor for your baby? Do you need his beast for the bone? Do you need to hold a leash to be a lady? I know that you can make it, you can make it on your own.
Leonard Cohen
I'm neither left or right. I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
Leonard Cohen
We actually lead very violent, passionate lives and I think that we're hungry for insights into this condition. That's why we get all that stuff on television. It's really where we are, really what we are.
Leonard Cohen
I will not be held like a drunkard / under the cold tap of facts
Leonard Cohen
Seriousness is the deepest pleasure we have.
Leonard Cohen
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing Every time you gave them shelter. I know that kind of man It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
Leonard Cohen
