Image
Growing old becomes clear to you at a certain point. I think it's after the age of 70 you realize - you begin to actually be convinced - you're growing older.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I speak of a clinical depression that is the background of your entire life, a background of anguish and anxiety, a sense that nothing goes well, that pleasure is unavailable and all your strategies collapse.
Leonard Cohen
Image
It is painful to recall a past intensity, to estimate your distance from the Belsen heap, to make your peace with numbers. Just to get up each morning is to make a kind of peace.
Leonard Cohen
Image
It's like a bear stumbling into a beehive or a honey cache: I'm stumbling right into it and getting stuck, and it's delicious and it's horrible and I'm in it and it's not very graceful and it's very awkward and it's very painful and yet there's something inevitable about it.
Leonard Cohen
Image
It's inappropriate for an elderly chap to register, you know, authentically, his feelings, you know, because they really can be interpreted. So you have to get quite covert as you get older. Or you have to find some avuncular way, you know, of responding.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
Your body will never be familiar.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I cannot understand why my arm is not a lilac tree.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Only in Canada could somebody with a voice like mine win 'Vocalist of the Year'.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen
Image
there's no forsaking what you love no existential leap as witnessed here in time and blood a thousand kisses deep
Leonard Cohen
Image
I always felt I was scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get a song together.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I don't have any spiritual strategy.
Leonard Cohen
Image
To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation's sweetest dreams of itself.
Leonard Cohen
Image
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
Leonard Cohen
Image
I alwaysthought of myself as a competent, minor poet. I know who I'm up against.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I feel that this is a vocabulary that I grew up with. This biblical landscape is very familiar to me, and it's natural that I use those landmarks as references. 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
Image
I bargain now. I offer buttons for his love.
Leonard Cohen
Image
When you stop thinking about yourself all the time, a certain sense of repose overtakes you.
Leonard Cohen
