More quotes by Leonard Cohen
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
Leonard Cohen
You lose your grip, and then you slip into the Masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
It's time that we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Leonard Cohen
No one masters the heart.
Leonard Cohen
And most people have a woman in their heart, most men have a woman in their heart and most women have a man in their heart.
Leonard Cohen
And may my bronze name / touch always her thousand fingers / grow brighter with her weeping / until I am fixed like a galaxy / and memorized / in her secret and fragile skies.
Leonard Cohen
I try to make those references. I try to make sure that they're not too obscure. But outside of that, I dare not claim anything in the spiritual realm for my own.
Leonard Cohen
One is distracted by this notion that there is such an thing as inspiration, that it comes fast and easy. And some people are graced by that style. I'm not. So I have to work as hard as any stiff to come up with my payload
Leonard Cohen
First of all nothing will happen and a little later nothing will happen again.
Leonard Cohen
Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard Cohen
I loved you for a long, long time I know this love is real It don't matter how it all went wrong That don't change the way I feel And I can't believe that time's Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of There ain't no cure for love
Leonard Cohen
In streams of light I clearly saw The dust you seldom see, Out of which the Nameless makes A Name for one like me... All busy in the sunlight The flecks did float and dance, And I was tumbled up with them In formless circumstance.
Leonard Cohen
In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.
Leonard Cohen
You who build these altars now to sacrifice these children , you must not do it anymore. A scheme is not a vision and you never have been tempted by a demon or a god .
Leonard Cohen
I am not the one who loves - It's love that chooses me. When hatred with his package comes, you forbid delivery...
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
Take one step to the side and it's all absurd.
Leonard Cohen
Do not be a magician - be magic!
Leonard Cohen
I'm writing all the time. And as the songs begin to coalesce, I'm not doing anything else but writing. I wish I were one of those people who wrote songs quickly. But I'm not. So it takes me a great deal of time to find out what the song is.
Leonard Cohen
To the men and women who own men and women those of us meant to be lovers we will not pardon you for wasting our bodies and time
Leonard Cohen
