More quotes by Leonard Cohen
It's inappropriate for an elderly chap to register, you know, authentically, his feelings, you know, because they really can be interpreted. So you have to get quite covert as you get older. Or you have to find some avuncular way, you know, of responding.
Leonard Cohen
Act the way you'd like to be and soon you'll be the way you act.
Leonard Cohen
I bargain now. I offer buttons for his love.
Leonard Cohen
You lose your grip, and then you slip into the Masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
I read with some amusement my reputation as a ladies' man. My friends are amused by that, too, because they know my life.
Leonard Cohen
We actually lead very violent, passionate lives and I think that we're hungry for insights into this condition. That's why we get all that stuff on television. It's really where we are, really what we are.
Leonard Cohen
The less I was of who I was, the better I felt.
Leonard Cohen
A man never got a woman back... not by begging on his knees.
Leonard Cohen
There are a few things that deal with passion. There's Prozac.
Leonard Cohen
I don't have any spiritual strategy.
Leonard Cohen
Your body will never be familiar.
Leonard Cohen
I looked into [Prozac]. I must say that it is certainly a wonder drug.
Leonard Cohen
The duty of lovers is to tarnish the Golden Rule
Leonard Cohen
I can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen
My son and my daughter have both been an incredibly sustaining force, especially through this recent bad patch [of health]. So, I've been blessed and grateful for their company and for their assistance.
Leonard Cohen
We're in a world where there's famine and hunger and people are dodging bullets and having their nails pulled out in dungeons so it's very hard for me to place any high value on the work that I do to write a song. Yeah, I work hard but compared to what?
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
I will not be held like a drunkard / under the cold tap of facts
Leonard Cohen
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes one kind.
Leonard Cohen
Just to get serious about this thing, you know. One has to be compassionate. It's true that people are up against things, economically and emotionally.
Leonard Cohen
