There are a few things that deal with passion. There's Prozac.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
It's four in the morning, the end of december I'm writing you now just to see if you're better.
Leonard Cohen
Love is not a victory march
Leonard Cohen
I don't remember lighting this cigarette and I don't remember if I'm here alone or waiting for someone.
Leonard Cohen
It's you my love, you who are the stranger.
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
There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn't.
Leonard Cohen
I'm planning a catastrophe.
Leonard Cohen
