More quotes by 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
It is painful to recall a past intensity, to estimate your distance from the Belsen heap, to make your peace with numbers. Just to get up each morning is to make a kind of peace.
Leonard Cohen
Israel, and you who call yourself Israel, the Church that calls itself Israel, and the revolt that calls itself Israel, and every nation chosen to be a nation - none of these lands is yours, all of you are thieves of holiness, all of you at war with Mercy.
Leonard Cohen
The wars they will be fought again The holy dove be caught again bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free.
Leonard Cohen
I’ll be marching through the morning, Marching through the night, Moving 'cross the borders Of My Secret Life.
Leonard Cohen
Now, I don't want to give you the impression that I'm a great musicologist, but I'm a lot better than what I was described as for a long, long time you know, people said I only knew three chords when I knew five.
Leonard Cohen
My reputation as a ladies' man was a joke that caused me to laugh bitterly through the ten thousand nights I spent alone.
Leonard Cohen
Dream after dream we all lie in each other's arms
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
You have money, fame, youth, beauty, talent. That's a good start... for feeling good.
Leonard Cohen
We are awakening from the dream of isolation, from the dream of loneliness, and it's a terrible shock.
Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that you've been faithful, give or take a night or two.
Leonard Cohen
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich / Thats how it goes / Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen
After a while, if you are sufficiently bored or unemployed, you may want to read it from cover to cover.
Leonard Cohen
Never make a decision when you need to pee.
Leonard Cohen
Every heart to Love will come, but like a refugee
Leonard Cohen
It’s a pity if someone… has to console himself for the wreck of his days with the notion that somehow his voice, his work embodies the deepest, most obscure, freshest, rawest oyster of reality in the unfathomable refrigerator of the heart’s ocean, but I am such a one, and there you have it.
Leonard Cohen
A man never got a woman back... not by begging on his knees.
Leonard Cohen
I’ve seen the nations rise and fall. I’ve heard their stories, heard them all, but love’s the only engine of survival.
Leonard Cohen
I won't comment on what Bob Dylan said, but I will comment on his receiving the Nobel Prize, which to me is like pinning a medal on Mount Everest for being the highest mountain.
Leonard Cohen
