Leonard Cohen
Image
You can say that I've grown bitter but of this you can be sure. The rich have get their channels in the bedrooms of the poor. And there's a mighty Judgement coming but I may be wrong.
Leonard Cohen

You have money, fame, youth, beauty, talent. That's a good start... for feeling good.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armor themselves against wonder.
Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows the dice are loaded.
Leonard Cohen

In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.
Leonard Cohen
