More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Maybe there's a god above but the only thing I learned from love was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you.
Leonard Cohen
English, I know you ... you are German with a license to kill.
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
I have often prayed for you like this Let me have her
Leonard Cohen
I would like to work with Pat [ Leonard] in any capacity. I would love to hear his versions.
Leonard Cohen
From bitter searching of the heart, quickened with passion and with pain we rise to play a greater part this is the faith from which we start.
Leonard Cohen
I hope we [with Patrick Leonard] can come up with something orchestral with some spoken material. And I also, God willing, hope that perhaps another record of songs also might emerge, but one never knows.
Leonard Cohen
You should go from place to place recovering the poems that have been written for you to which you can affix your signature. Don't discuss these matters with anyone. Retrieve. Retrieve. When the basket is full someone will appear to whom you can present it.
Leonard Cohen
I noticed that when I was on Prozac my relationship with the landscape improved. I actually stopped thinking about myself for a minute or two, because most of the thoughts one has about oneself are involved with desire or loneliness or isolation or strategies to overcome them.
Leonard Cohen
Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard Cohen
I don't think there's any difference between a crush and profound love. I think the experience is that you dissolve your sentries and your battalions for a moment and you really do see that there is this unfixed free-flowing energy of emotion and thought between people, that it really is there.
Leonard Cohen
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes one kind.
Leonard Cohen
We're always experiencing joy or sadness. But there are lots of people who've closed down. And there are times in one's life when one has to close down just to regroup.
Leonard Cohen
No one's ever done one of my songs badly. People say to me, God, so-and-so wrecked that song. Well, I'm unaware of it. Anybody doing one of my tunes has earned my gratitude, and I don't get that many covers where I have the luxury to choose.
Leonard Cohen
All the lousy little poets coming around trying to sound like Charles Manson.
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
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.
Leonard Cohen
[Europe has] this tradition of self revelation in popular music. We have it here - it's called Country Western Music... I think that's where the deeper and more complex subjects are treated.
Leonard Cohen
ordinary eternal machinery, like the grinding of the stars
Leonard Cohen
Avoid the flourish. Do not be afraid to be weak. Do not be ashamed to be tired. You look good when you’re tired. You look like you could go on forever. Now come into my arms. You are the image of my beauty .
Leonard Cohen
