Quote

It’s a depressing habit you have of loving to sneeze and of eating apples as if they were juicier for you and being the first one to exclaim how good the movie is. You depress people. We like apples too.

Leonard Cohen

More quotes by Leonard Cohen

Image
When you stop thinking about yourself all the time, a certain sense of repose overtakes you.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
The wars they will be fought again The holy dove be caught again bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free.
Leonard Cohen
Image
The obstacles are great and the suffering is great and people have got to make a living.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I don't think there's any difference between a crush and profound love. I think the experience is that you dissolve your sentries and your battalions for a moment and you really do see that there is this unfixed free-flowing energy of emotion and thought between people, that it really is there.
Leonard Cohen
Image
It doesn't matter how anything happens.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I didn't want to write for pay. I wanted to be paid for what I write.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I try to make those references. I try to make sure that they're not too obscure. But outside of that, I dare not claim anything in the spiritual realm for my own.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I can work on a verse for a very long time before realising it's not any good and then, and only then, can I discard it.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Probably all cultures, certainly Western culture, always have been violent.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.
Leonard Cohen
Image
even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen
Image
No penance serves to renew them, no massive transfusions of trust. Why not even revenge can undo them, so twisted these vows and so crushed.
Leonard Cohen
Image
You have money, fame, youth, beauty, talent. That's a good start... for feeling good.
Leonard Cohen
Image
The fact that my songs take a long time to write is no guarantee of their excellence.
Leonard Cohen
Image
A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the energy of love.
Leonard Cohen
Image
The candles burned The moon went down The polished hill The milky town Transparent, weightless, luminous Uncovering the two of us On that fundamental ground Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound And half the perfect world is found.
Leonard Cohen
Image
May everyone live, And may everyone die. Hello, my love, And my love, Goodbye.
Leonard Cohen
