More quotes by Leonard Cohen
There are no letters in the mailbox And there are no grapes upon the vine And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore And there are no diamonds in the mine
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
I'm planning a catastrophe.
Leonard Cohen
Just to get serious about this thing, you know. One has to be compassionate. It's true that people are up against things, economically and emotionally.
Leonard Cohen
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes one kind.
Leonard Cohen
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Someone gave me wishes and I wished for an embrace.
Leonard Cohen
My page was too white My ink was too thin The day wouldn't write What the night pencilled in.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Only in Canada could somebody with a voice like mine win 'Vocalist of the Year'.
Leonard Cohen
It's easy to look down from the summit you've reached, or even the summit I've reached, and talk about the responsibilities of the artist, but most people are just trying to get their foot in the door and make a living.
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
You lose your grip, and then you slip into the Masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
All the lousy little poets coming around trying to sound like Charles Manson.
Leonard Cohen
First of all nothing will happen and a little later nothing will happen again.
Leonard Cohen
Anything I tell you is an alibi for something else. Then let's be quiet together.
Leonard Cohen
The less I was of who I was, the better I felt.
Leonard Cohen
I read with some amusement my reputation as a ladies' man. My friends are amused by that, too, because they know my life.
Leonard Cohen
When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.
Leonard Cohen
