More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Adam [Cohen] is a great singer-songwriter in his own right.
Leonard Cohen
We used to play music for fun. Much more than now. Now nobody picks up a guitar unless they're paid for it.
Leonard Cohen
I cannot understand why my arm is not a lilac tree.
Leonard Cohen
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
Leonard Cohen
The Dream O I had such a wonderful dream, she said. I dreamed you made love to me. At last, he said to himself, the spirit has taken up some of the heavy work.
Leonard Cohen
Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.
Leonard Cohen
There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn't.
Leonard Cohen
Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
Leonard Cohen
Maybe we, the cultural workers , could apply ourselves. We're not going to resolve it in this moment or even in this generation, but perhaps as some kind of agenda we could invite our writers and cultural workers to address the problem a little more responsibly, because people are suffering tremendously from a want of data.
Leonard Cohen
I want to be paid for my work, not work for my pay.
Leonard Cohen
How can I begin anything new with all of yesterday in me?
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
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
A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.
Leonard Cohen
Love is not a victory march
Leonard Cohen
I'm neither left or right. I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
Leonard Cohen
I would like to work with Pat [ Leonard] in any capacity. I would love to hear his versions.
Leonard Cohen
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to. And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you.
Leonard Cohen
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.
Leonard Cohen
Avoid the flourish. Do not be afraid to be weak. Do not be ashamed to be tired. You look good when you’re tired. You look like you could go on forever. Now come into my arms. You are the image of my beauty .
Leonard Cohen
