More quotes by Leonard Cohen
When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.
Leonard Cohen
There's a deep tribal aspect to my own nature. So when I'm in contact with those deep resources, of course I feel a very special kind of nourishment.
Leonard Cohen
I'm planning a catastrophe.
Leonard Cohen
Poetry is a verdict rather than an intention.
Leonard Cohen
Anything I tell you is an alibi for something else. Then let's be quiet together.
Leonard Cohen
You who build these altars now to sacrifice these children , you must not do it anymore. A scheme is not a vision and you never have been tempted by a demon or a god .
Leonard Cohen
I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others it's for others to use.
Leonard Cohen
Adam [Cohen] is a great singer-songwriter in his own right.
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
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
All the lousy little poets coming around trying to sound like Charles Manson.
Leonard Cohen
I hope we [with Patrick Leonard] can come up with something orchestral with some spoken material. And I also, God willing, hope that perhaps another record of songs also might emerge, but one never knows.
Leonard Cohen
I smile when I'm angry , I cheat and I lie. I do what I have to do to get by. But I know what is wrong and I know what is right , and I'd die for the truth in my secret life .
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
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
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask. If you want a different kind of love I'll wear a mask. If you want to strike me down in anger here I stand. If you want a partner in life take my hand. I'm your man.
Leonard Cohen
The candles burned The moon went down The polished hill The milky town Transparent, weightless, luminous Uncovering the two of us On that fundamental ground Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound And half the perfect world is found.
Leonard Cohen
I looked into [Prozac]. I must say that it is certainly a wonder drug.
Leonard Cohen
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen
I alwaysthought of myself as a competent, minor poet. I know who I'm up against.
Leonard Cohen
