More quotes by Leonard Cohen
It doesn't matter what you do because it's going to happen anyway.
Leonard Cohen
even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.
Leonard Cohen
As a young man, Yeats spoke to me in a way I could understand. Shakespeare I couldn't understand, but Yeats I could. It was his subject matter and also I really admired the way he put his personal life on the line.
Leonard Cohen
I can work on a verse for a very long time before realising it's not any good and then, and only then, can I discard it.
Leonard Cohen
Love is not a victory march
Leonard Cohen
Journalists, especially English journalists, were very cruel to me. They said I only knew three chords when I knew five!
Leonard Cohen
[Europe has] this tradition of self revelation in popular music. We have it here - it's called Country Western Music... I think that's where the deeper and more complex subjects are treated.
Leonard Cohen
I don't think you can write novels on the road. You need a certain stability.
Leonard Cohen
I've forgotten most of what I've read and, frankly, it never seemed very important to me or to the world.
Leonard Cohen
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
Leonard Cohen
No penance serves to renew them, no massive transfusions of trust. Why not even revenge can undo them, so twisted these vows and so crushed.
Leonard Cohen
Women stand for the objective world for a man. They stand for the thing that you're not and that's what you always reach for in a song.
Leonard Cohen
[Prozac] didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever on my melancholy, my dark vision, and everything else that I'd taken it for.
Leonard Cohen
I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me, but the room just filled up with mosquitoes.
Leonard Cohen
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich / Thats how it goes / Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen
There are a few things that deal with passion. There's Prozac.
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
I will not be held like a drunkard / under the cold tap of facts
Leonard Cohen
Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.
Leonard Cohen
Every heart to Love will come, but like a refugee
Leonard Cohen
