More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that you've been faithful, give or take a night or two.
Leonard Cohen
Now, I don't want to give you the impression that I'm a great musicologist, but I'm a lot better than what I was described as for a long, long time you know, people said I only knew three chords when I knew five.
Leonard Cohen
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
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
I will not be held like a drunkard / under the cold tap of facts
Leonard Cohen
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
There are no letters in the mailbox And there are no grapes upon the vine And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore And there are no diamonds in the mine
Leonard Cohen
I bargain now. I offer buttons for his love.
Leonard Cohen
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
Get ready for the future: it is murder.
Leonard Cohen
I’ve seen the nations rise and fall. I’ve heard their stories, heard them all, but love’s the only engine of survival.
Leonard Cohen
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
Rust rust rust in the engines of love and time.
Leonard Cohen
The duty of lovers is to tarnish the Golden Rule
Leonard Cohen
I don't think you can write novels on the road. You need a certain stability.
Leonard Cohen
The term clinical depression finds its way into too many conversations these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe has occurred in the psychic landscape.
Leonard Cohen
The fact that my songs take a long time to write is no guarantee of their excellence.
Leonard Cohen
A man never got a woman back... not by begging on his knees.
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
Sail on, sail on, o' might Ship of State. To the shores of need, past the reefs of greed, through the squalls of hate. Sail on, sail on, sail on.
Leonard Cohen
