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.

My son and my daughter have both been an incredibly sustaining force, especially through this recent bad patch [of health]. So, I've been blessed and grateful for their company and for their assistance.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I hope we [with Patrick Leonard] can come up with something orchestral with some spoken material. And I also, God willing, hope that perhaps another record of songs also might emerge, but one never knows.
Leonard Cohen

This civil action is another case of a tragedy that has become all too familiar in the music industry: a business manager and professional advisers exploit an immensely talented artist's loyalty and trust through greed, self-dealing, concealment, knowing misrepresentation and reckless disregard for professional fiduciary duties.

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
Image
Avoid the flourish. Do not be afraid to be weak. Do not be ashamed to be tired. You look good when you’re tired. You look like you could go on forever. Now come into my arms. You are the image of my beauty .
Leonard Cohen

I cannot understand why my arm is not a lilac tree.
Leonard Cohen

It was a dance of masks and every mask was perfect because every mask was a real face and every face was a real mask so there was no mask and there was no face for there was but one dance in which there was but one mask but one true face which was the same and which was a thing without a name which changed and changed into itself over and over.
Leonard Cohen

As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
Leonard Cohen
Image
First of all nothing will happen and a little later nothing will happen again.
Leonard Cohen
Image
But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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

How bitter were the Prozac pills of the last few hundred mornings
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
I'm neither left or right. I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen.

Adam [Cohen] is a great singer-songwriter in his own right.

Every heart to Love will come, but like a refugee
Leonard Cohen

And here you are hurried, And here you are gone And here is the love, That it's all built upon.

The Maestro says it's Mozart but it sounds like bubble gum when you're waiting for the miracle to come.

I want to be paid for my work, not work for my pay.
