More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen
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
I want to be paid for my work, not work for my pay.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
I will not be held like a drunkard / under the cold tap of facts
Leonard Cohen
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
..you wanted to be the Superman who was never Clark Kent
Leonard Cohen
One is distracted by this notion that there is such an thing as inspiration, that it comes fast and easy. And some people are graced by that style. I'm not. So I have to work as hard as any stiff to come up with my payload
Leonard Cohen
It just takes a long time for me [to write a song]. I'm very slow. And it comes, kind of, by dribbles and drops.
Leonard Cohen
Anything I tell you is an alibi for something else. Then let's be quiet together.
Leonard Cohen
