More quotes by 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
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
To keep our hearts open is probably the most urgent responsibility you have as you get older.
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
You lose your grip, and then you slip into the Masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love
Leonard Cohen
I have often prayed for you like this Let me have her
Leonard Cohen
We all need that experience of forgetting who you are. Forgetting who you are is such a delicious experience and so frightening that we're in this conflicted predicament.
Leonard Cohen
I cannot understand why my arm is not a lilac tree.
Leonard Cohen
It’s a pity if someone… has to console himself for the wreck of his days with the notion that somehow his voice, his work embodies the deepest, most obscure, freshest, rawest oyster of reality in the unfathomable refrigerator of the heart’s ocean, but I am such a one, and there you have it.
Leonard Cohen
A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.
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
We're always experiencing joy or sadness. But there are lots of people who've closed down. And there are times in one's life when one has to close down just to regroup.
Leonard Cohen
I speak of a clinical depression that is the background of your entire life, a background of anguish and anxiety, a sense that nothing goes well, that pleasure is unavailable and all your strategies collapse.
Leonard Cohen
To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation's sweetest dreams of itself.
Leonard Cohen
To the men and women who own men and women those of us meant to be lovers we will not pardon you for wasting our bodies and time
Leonard Cohen
No one masters the heart.
Leonard Cohen
I always felt I was scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get a song together.
Leonard Cohen
It's easy to look down from the summit you've reached, or even the summit I've reached, and talk about the responsibilities of the artist, but most people are just trying to get their foot in the door and make a living.
Leonard Cohen
The dreamers ride against the men of action. Oh see the men of action falling back.
Leonard Cohen
