More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Stunned and still not suffering. Swollen with care and anxiety and still not suffering. Useless, old and full of grief, but still not suffering.
Leonard Cohen
Out of the thousands who are known or who want to be known as poets, maybe one or two are genuine and the rest are fakes, hanging around the sacred precincts, trying to look like the real thing.
Leonard Cohen
Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free!!
Leonard Cohen
I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong, I will make it all up to thee.
Leonard Cohen
I want to be paid for my work, not work for my pay.
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
Be With Me In The Phases Of My Work Because My Brain Feels Like It Has Been Whipped And I Yearn To Make A Small Perfect Thing Which Will Live In Your Morning Like Curious Static Through A President's Elegy Or A Nude Hunchback Acquiring A Tan On The Crowded Oily Beach.
Leonard Cohen
The obstacles are great and the suffering is great and people have got to make a living.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Does anybody have a cigarette? I'm looking forward to that first smoke. I've been looking forward to [it] for about 30 years.
Leonard Cohen
Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique.
Leonard Cohen
Take one step to the side and it's all absurd.
Leonard Cohen
I can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen
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
The blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it's overturned the order of the soul.
Leonard Cohen
You win a while, and then it’s done - Your little winning streak.
Leonard Cohen
When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.
Leonard Cohen
In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.
Leonard Cohen
My reputation as a ladies' man was a joke that caused me to laugh bitterly through the ten thousand nights I spent alone.
Leonard Cohen
It doesn't matter how anything happens.
Leonard Cohen
