Quote

If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask. If you want a different kind of love I'll wear a mask. If you want to strike me down in anger here I stand. If you want a partner in life take my hand. I'm your man.

Leonard Cohen

Image
You can say that I've grown bitter but of this you can be sure. The rich have get their channels in the bedrooms of the poor. And there's a mighty Judgement coming but I may be wrong.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
It's time that we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I'm writing all the time. And as the songs begin to coalesce, I'm not doing anything else but writing. I wish I were one of those people who wrote songs quickly. But I'm not. So it takes me a great deal of time to find out what the song is.

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
Image
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes one kind.
Leonard Cohen
Image
And most people have a woman in their heart, most men have a woman in their heart and most women have a man in their heart.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I noticed that when I was on Prozac my relationship with the landscape improved. I actually stopped thinking about myself for a minute or two, because most of the thoughts one has about oneself are involved with desire or loneliness or isolation or strategies to overcome them.

It's you my love, you who are the stranger.

Every heart to Love will come, but like a refugee

Image
I always considered myself a minor writer. My province is small, and I try to explore it very, very thoroughly.
Leonard Cohen
Image
... i didn't fall in love of course it's never up to you but she was walking back and forth and i was passing through
Leonard Cohen
Image
We're in a world where there's famine and hunger and people are dodging bullets and having their nails pulled out in dungeons so it's very hard for me to place any high value on the work that I do to write a song. Yeah, I work hard but compared to what?
Leonard Cohen
Image
No one's ever done one of my songs badly. People say to me, God, so-and-so wrecked that song. Well, I'm unaware of it. Anybody doing one of my tunes has earned my gratitude, and I don't get that many covers where I have the luxury to choose.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I feel that this is a vocabulary that I grew up with. This biblical landscape is very familiar to me, and it's natural that I use those landmarks as references. Once they were universal references and everybody understood and knew them and located them. That's no longer the case today, but it is still my landscape.

As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.

Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique.
