More quotes by Leonard Cohen
I've seen the future and it's murder.
Leonard Cohen
I think that any songwriter - and I think that Bob Dylan knows this more than all of us - you don't write the songs anyhow.
Leonard Cohen
Anything I tell you is an alibi for something else. Then let's be quiet together.
Leonard Cohen
Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard Cohen
Women stand for the objective world for a man. They stand for the thing that you're not and that's what you always reach for in a song.
Leonard Cohen
Israel, and you who call yourself Israel, the Church that calls itself Israel, and the revolt that calls itself Israel, and every nation chosen to be a nation - none of these lands is yours, all of you are thieves of holiness, all of you at war with Mercy.
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
It's four in the morning, the end of december I'm writing you now just to see if you're better.
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
I've always held the song in high regard because songs have got me through so many sinks of dishes and so many humiliating courting events.
Leonard Cohen
I guess you go for nothing, if you really want to go that far.
Leonard Cohen
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy, golden storm, yes many loved before us, I know we are not new, in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, but now it's come to distances and both of us must try, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
Leonard Cohen
I'm neither left or right. I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
Leonard Cohen
There are no letters in the mailbox And there are no grapes upon the vine And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore And there are no diamonds in the mine
Leonard Cohen
Most of our distractions are designed to invite us away from this recognition, which is a good idea.
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
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
I alwaysthought of myself as a competent, minor poet. I know who I'm up against.
Leonard Cohen
Here's to the few who forgive what you do, and the fewer who don't even care
Leonard Cohen
I loved you when you opened like a lily to the heat you see I’m just another snowman standing in the rain and sleet who loved you with his frozen love, his second hand physique, with all he is and all he was a thousand kisses deep.
Leonard Cohen
