More quotes by Leonard Cohen
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
Leonard Cohen
I had the title poet, and maybe I was one for a while. Also, the title singer was kindly accorded me, even though I could barely carry a tune.
Leonard Cohen
I don't think you can write novels on the road. You need a certain stability.
Leonard Cohen
Yes, you who must leave everything that you cannot control, It begins with your family, and soon it comes round to your soul. Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned: When you're not feeling holy your loneliness says that you've sinned.
Leonard Cohen
If you're squeezed for information, / that's when you've got to play it dumb: / You just say you're out there waiting / for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Leonard Cohen
My two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico Garcia Lorca.
Leonard Cohen
I couldn't feel so I learned to touch.
Leonard Cohen
The Dream O I had such a wonderful dream, she said. I dreamed you made love to me. At last, he said to himself, the spirit has taken up some of the heavy work.
Leonard Cohen
It's easy to look down from the summit you've reached, or even the summit I've reached, and talk about the responsibilities of the artist, but most people are just trying to get their foot in the door and make a living.
Leonard Cohen
I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.
Leonard Cohen
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes one kind.
Leonard Cohen
I've expressed my gratitude to my son many times. And his career is far from undistinguished, and it was a great privilege to have someone of this skill bringing this album to conclusion.
Leonard Cohen
I will not be held like a drunkard / under the cold tap of facts
Leonard Cohen
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.
Leonard Cohen
Never make a decision when you need to pee.
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
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
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
Coroner's inquest: death by drowning. And he hasn't been to the sea-shore in ten years.
Leonard Cohen
The psychologists are valiantly trying to provide us with answers, the religious people are trying to provide us with answers. I think it properly falls on the cultural workers to investigate this predicament with a little less concern for the marketplace and a little more concern for their higher calling.
Leonard Cohen
