More quotes by Leonard Cohen
As soon as anybody does one of my songs, I rejoice. This particular case of all these great singers doing my work - the implications are very rich and the temptation to think of the outcome of these masses of the mainstream injecting my work into the marketplace, it's a very sweet speculation.
Leonard Cohen
It doesn't matter how anything happens.
Leonard Cohen
Adam [Cohen] is a great singer-songwriter in his own right.
Leonard Cohen
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
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 heard of a man who says words so beautifully that if he only speaks their name women give themselves to him. If I am dumb beside your body while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips it is because I hear a man climb stairs and clear his throat outside our door.
Leonard Cohen
I cannot understand why my arm is not a lilac tree.
Leonard Cohen
I found that things became a lot easier when I no longer expected to win. You abandon your masterpiece and sink into the real masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
You can do anything you want to [ in ashram] if you can find the time. It's a very rigorous day. It starts at 2:30 in the morning and often doesn't end until midnight, so if you can actually find a moment to have a drink or a smoke, you're quite welcome to, as long as it doesn't interfere with your capacity to follow the schedule.
Leonard Cohen
In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.
Leonard Cohen
a kite is a victim you are sure of. you love it because it pulls.
Leonard Cohen
After a while, if you are sufficiently bored or unemployed, you may want to read it from cover to cover.
Leonard Cohen
We all need that experience of forgetting who you are. Forgetting who you are is such a delicious experience and so frightening that we're in this conflicted predicament.
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
All the lousy little poets coming around trying to sound like Charles Manson.
Leonard Cohen
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth One more thin gypsy thief... Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried... And Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear.
Leonard Cohen
Rust rust rust in the engines of love and time.
Leonard Cohen
I will not be held like a drunkard / under the cold tap of facts
Leonard Cohen
I've expressed my gratitude to my son many times. And his career is far from undistinguished, and it was a great privilege to have someone of this skill bringing this album to conclusion.
Leonard Cohen
You lose your grip, and then you slip into the Masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
