Quote

I loved you for a long, long time I know this love is real It don't matter how it all went wrong That don't change the way I feel And I can't believe that time's Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of There ain't no cure for love

Leonard Cohen

A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the energy of love.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Your servant here, he has been told to say it clear, to say it cold: It's over, it ain't going any further And now the wheels of heaven stop you feel the devil's riding crop Get ready for the future: it is murder
Leonard Cohen

Maybe we, the cultural workers , could apply ourselves.

You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal.
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

If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask. If you want a different kind of love I'll wear a mask. If you want to strike me down in anger here I stand. If you want a partner in life take my hand. I'm your man.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Women stand for the objective world for a man. They stand for the thing that you're not and that's what you always reach for in a song.
Leonard Cohen
Image
A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.
Leonard Cohen
Image
There are a few things that deal with passion. There's Prozac.
Leonard Cohen
Image
A man never got a woman back... not by begging on his knees.
Leonard Cohen
Image
If you're squeezed for information, / that's when you've got to play it dumb: / You just say you're out there waiting / for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Leonard Cohen
Image
One is given to self-dramatization from time to time. I intend to live forever.
Leonard Cohen
