More quotes by Leonard Cohen
..you wanted to be the Superman who was never Clark Kent
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 can work on a verse for a very long time before realising it's not any good and then, and only then, can I discard it.
Leonard Cohen
I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me, but the room just filled up with mosquitoes.
Leonard Cohen
Out of the thousands who are known or who want to be known as poets, maybe one or two are genuine and the rest are fakes, hanging around the sacred precincts, trying to look like the real thing.
Leonard Cohen
I always considered myself a minor writer. My province is small, and I try to explore it very, very thoroughly.
Leonard Cohen
Ah, grief makes us precise!
Leonard Cohen
Music is the emotional life of the most people.
Leonard Cohen
But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.
Leonard Cohen
How can I begin anything new with all of yesterday in me?
Leonard Cohen
I'm neither left or right. I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
Leonard Cohen
In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.
Leonard Cohen
And most people have a woman in their heart, most men have a woman in their heart and most women have a man in their heart.
Leonard Cohen
Only in Canada could somebody with a voice like mine win 'Vocalist of the Year'.
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
The wars they will be fought again The holy dove be caught again bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free.
Leonard Cohen
I think culture's always been violent, and it is something we find very entertaining. Not only does it reflect our social reality, but it also reflects our psychic reality.
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
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
Leonard Cohen
Probably all cultures, certainly Western culture, always have been violent.
Leonard Cohen
