More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Music is the emotional life of the most people.
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
there's no forsaking what you love no existential leap as witnessed here in time and blood a thousand kisses deep
Leonard Cohen
Do not be a magician - be magic!
Leonard Cohen
I finally broke into the prison I found my place in the chain Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows
Leonard Cohen
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
Leonard Cohen

It's hard to be serious about so many things. [Look at the whole emphasis] on the charts, if you're a songwriter.
Leonard Cohen
My son and my daughter have both been an incredibly sustaining force, especially through this recent bad patch [of health]. So, I've been blessed and grateful for their company and for their assistance.
Leonard Cohen
Follow me, the wise man said, but he walked behind.
Leonard Cohen
The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.
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
[Prozac] didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever on my melancholy, my dark vision, and everything else that I'd taken it for.
Leonard Cohen
Ah, grief makes us precise!
Leonard Cohen
It doesn't matter what you do because it's going to happen anyway.
Leonard Cohen
We're always experiencing joy or sadness. But there are lots of people who've closed down. And there are times in one's life when one has to close down just to regroup.
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 can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen
