More quotes by Leonard Cohen
And here you are hurried, And here you are gone And here is the love, That it's all built upon.
Leonard Cohen
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to. And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you.
Leonard Cohen

Once they were universal references and everybody understood and knew them and located them. That's no longer the case today, but it is still my landscape.
Leonard Cohen
I'm never sure why I do anything, to tell you the truth.
Leonard Cohen
Journalists, especially English journalists, were very cruel to me. They said I only knew three chords when I knew five!
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
The duty of lovers is to tarnish the Golden Rule
Leonard Cohen
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich / Thats how it goes / Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Seriousness is the deepest pleasure we have.
Leonard Cohen
Does anybody have a cigarette? I'm looking forward to that first smoke. I've been looking forward to [it] for about 30 years.
Leonard Cohen
The blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it's overturned the order of the soul.
Leonard Cohen
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen
Someone gave me wishes and I wished for an embrace.
Leonard Cohen
I don't remember lighting this cigarette and I don't remember if I'm here alone or waiting for someone.
Leonard Cohen
I cannot understand why my arm is not a lilac tree.
Leonard Cohen
The dreamers ride against the men of action. Oh see the men of action falling back.
Leonard Cohen
A community is an alibi for the failure of individual love.
Leonard Cohen
One is given to self-dramatization from time to time. I intend to live forever.
Leonard Cohen
Ah, grief makes us precise!
Leonard Cohen
