Leonard Cohen
The Maestro says it's Mozart but it sounds like bubble gum when you're waiting for the miracle to come.
Leonard Cohen
I've forgotten most of what I've read and, frankly, it never seemed very important to me or to the world.
Leonard Cohen
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love
Leonard Cohen
English, I know you ... you are German with a license to kill.
Leonard Cohen
No one masters the heart.
Leonard Cohen
It’s a depressing habit you have of loving to sneeze and of eating apples as if they were juicier for you and being the first one to exclaim how good the movie is. You depress people. We like apples too.
Leonard Cohen
You have to keep cracking yourself open or you become a parody of yourself.
Leonard Cohen
I couldn't feel so I learned to touch.
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
