Please make me empty, if I'm empty then I can receive, if I can receive it means it comes from somewhere outside of me, if it comes from outside of me I'm not alone! I cannot bear this loneliness. Above all it is loneliness.
Leonard Cohen

More quotes by Leonard Cohen
I'm neither left or right. I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
Leonard Cohen
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes one kind.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Poetry is a verdict rather than an intention.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Here's to the few who forgive what you do, and the fewer who don't even care
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
His vision was just outstanding. If you think of him in the same way as Pele then you would come close.
Leonard Cohen
Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique.
Leonard Cohen
I've seen the future and it's murder.
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
It's hard to be serious about so many things. [Look at the whole emphasis] on the charts, if you're a songwriter.
Leonard Cohen
I'm never sure why I do anything, to tell you the truth.
Leonard Cohen
You have money, fame, youth, beauty, talent. That's a good start... for feeling good.
Leonard Cohen
