More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
A woman watches her body uneasily, as though it were an unreliable ally in the battle for love.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
The obstacles are great and the suffering is great and people have got to make a living.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
It doesn't matter how anything happens.
Leonard Cohen
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich / Thats how it goes / Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen
Love is not a victory march
Leonard Cohen
It’s a depressing habit you have of loving to sneeze and of eating apples as if they were juicier for you and being the first one to exclaim how good the movie is. You depress people. We like apples too.
Leonard Cohen
even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.
Leonard Cohen
The art of longing's over, and it's never coming back.
Leonard Cohen
Coroner's inquest: death by drowning. And he hasn't been to the sea-shore in ten years.
Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that you've been faithful, give or take a night or two.
Leonard Cohen
