More quotes by Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
I have often prayed for you like this Let me have her
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
I've forgotten most of what I've read and, frankly, it never seemed very important to me or to the world.
Leonard Cohen
A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.
Leonard Cohen
It’s a pity if someone… has to console himself for the wreck of his days with the notion that somehow his voice, his work embodies the deepest, most obscure, freshest, rawest oyster of reality in the unfathomable refrigerator of the heart’s ocean, but I am such a one, and there you have it.
Leonard Cohen
I don't remember lighting this cigarette and I don't remember if I'm here alone or waiting for someone.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
I will not be held like a drunkard / under the cold tap of facts
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
In streams of light I clearly saw The dust you seldom see, Out of which the Nameless makes A Name for one like me... All busy in the sunlight The flecks did float and dance, And I was tumbled up with them In formless circumstance.
Leonard Cohen
I'm neither left or right. I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
Leonard Cohen
a kite is a victim you are sure of. you love it because it pulls.
Leonard Cohen
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing Every time you gave them shelter. I know that kind of man It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
Leonard Cohen
A man never got a woman back... not by begging on his knees.
Leonard Cohen
It just takes a long time for me [to write a song]. I'm very slow. And it comes, kind of, by dribbles and drops.
Leonard Cohen
I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me, but the room just filled up with mosquitoes.
Leonard Cohen
How can I begin anything new with all of yesterday in me?
Leonard Cohen
