Poetry is a verdict rather than an intention.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
You lose your grip, and then you slip into the Masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love.
Leonard Cohen
Image
The obstacles are great and the suffering is great and people have got to make a living.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I always felt I was scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get a song together.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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

No one masters the heart.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Seriousness is the deepest pleasure we have.
Leonard Cohen
Image
To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation's sweetest dreams of itself.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I finally broke into the prison I found my place in the chain Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free!!
Leonard Cohen
Image
Your body will never be familiar.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I looked into [Prozac]. I must say that it is certainly a wonder drug.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I don't think there's any difference between a crush and profound love. I think the experience is that you dissolve your sentries and your battalions for a moment and you really do see that there is this unfixed free-flowing energy of emotion and thought between people, that it really is there.
Leonard Cohen
Image
There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn't.
Leonard Cohen
Image
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to. And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you.
Leonard Cohen
