Leonard Cohen
Seriousness is the deepest pleasure we have.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that you've been faithful, give or take a night or two.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
The obstacles are great and the suffering is great and people have got to make a living.
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 bargain now. I offer buttons for his love.
Leonard Cohen
Although only one man may be receiving the favors of a woman, all men in her presence are warmed. That's the great Generosity of women and the great generosity of the Creator who worked it out is that there are no unilateral agreements on sexuality.
Leonard Cohen
I've seen the future and it's murder.
Leonard Cohen
He can love the shape of human beings, the fine and twisted shapes of the heart. It is good to have among us such men, such balancing monsters of love.
Leonard Cohen
I always considered myself a minor writer. My province is small, and I try to explore it very, very thoroughly.
Leonard Cohen
