More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that you've been faithful, give or take a night or two.
Leonard Cohen
Act the way you'd like to be and soon you'll be the way you act.
Leonard Cohen
And I'll dance with you in Vienna, I'll be wearing a river's disguise. The hyacinth wild on my shoulder my mouth on the dew of your thighs. And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook, with the photographs there and the moss. And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty, my cheap violin and my cross.
Leonard Cohen
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes one kind.
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
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing Every time you gave them shelter. I know that kind of man It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
Leonard Cohen
I don't think you can write novels on the road. You need a certain stability.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
And sometimes when the night is slow The wretched and the meek We gather up our hearts and go A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Leonard Cohen

Fare thee well my nightingale, I lived but to be near you. Thow you are singing somewhere still I can no longer hear you.
Leonard Cohen
Rust rust rust in the engines of love and time.
Leonard Cohen
At the very center of our culture is a crucified man, a tortured man hanging on a cross of wood. You have an image of violence at the very center of our spiritual investigation.
Leonard Cohen
As a young man, Yeats spoke to me in a way I could understand. Shakespeare I couldn't understand, but Yeats I could. It was his subject matter and also I really admired the way he put his personal life on the line.
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
It's time that we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows the dice are loaded.
Leonard Cohen
