Image
This civil action is another case of a tragedy that has become all too familiar in the music industry: a business manager and professional advisers exploit an immensely talented artist's loyalty and trust through greed, self-dealing, concealment, knowing misrepresentation and reckless disregard for professional fiduciary duties.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armor themselves against wonder.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
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

Love is not a victory march

You can do anything you want to [ in ashram] if you can find the time. It's a very rigorous day. It starts at 2:30 in the morning and often doesn't end until midnight, so if you can actually find a moment to have a drink or a smoke, you're quite welcome to, as long as it doesn't interfere with your capacity to follow the schedule.

Leonard Cohen
Image

Leonard Cohen
Image
His vision was just outstanding. If you think of him in the same way as Pele then you would come close.
Leonard Cohen
Image
In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.

The duty of lovers is to tarnish the Golden Rule
Leonard Cohen

I always considered myself a minor writer. My province is small, and I try to explore it very, very thoroughly.
Leonard Cohen
Image
When you stop thinking about yourself all the time, a certain sense of repose overtakes you.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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.

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
Image
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
Love is a fire/It burns everyone/It disfigures everyone/It is the world's excuse for being ugly.
Leonard Cohen

You have money, fame, youth, beauty, talent. That's a good start... for feeling good.
