Leonard Cohen
One is given to self-dramatization from time to time. I intend to live forever.
Leonard Cohen
I've seen the future and it's murder.
Leonard Cohen
My mind was always very cluttered, so I took great pains to simplify my environment, because if my environment were half as cluttered as my mind, I wouldn't be able to make it from room to room. This system has just worked for me, even though I've had to sweat over every word. It's just my style.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn't.
Leonard Cohen
I couldn't feel so I learned to touch.
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

Leonard Cohen
[Prozac] didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever on my melancholy, my dark vision, and everything else that I'd taken it for.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed, Everybody knows that the war is over, Everybody knows the good guys lost.
Leonard Cohen
Just to get serious about this thing, you know. One has to be compassionate. It's true that people are up against things, economically and emotionally.
Leonard Cohen
I always considered myself a minor writer. My province is small, and I try to explore it very, very thoroughly.
Leonard Cohen
