More quotes by Leonard Cohen
English, I know you ... you are German with a license to kill.
Leonard Cohen
All the lousy little poets coming around trying to sound like Charles Manson.
Leonard Cohen
Please make me empty, if I'm empty then I can receive, if I can receive it means it comes from somewhere outside of me, if it comes from outside of me I'm not alone! I cannot bear this loneliness. Above all it is loneliness.
Leonard Cohen
You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal.
Leonard Cohen
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
I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong, I will make it all up to thee.
Leonard Cohen
Adam [Cohen] is a great singer-songwriter in his own right.
Leonard Cohen
As soon as anybody does one of my songs, I rejoice. This particular case of all these great singers doing my work - the implications are very rich and the temptation to think of the outcome of these masses of the mainstream injecting my work into the marketplace, it's a very sweet speculation.
Leonard Cohen
..you wanted to be the Superman who was never Clark Kent
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
May everyone live, And may everyone die. Hello, my love, And my love, Goodbye.
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
Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique.
Leonard Cohen
I think that any songwriter - and I think that Bob Dylan knows this more than all of us - you don't write the songs anyhow.
Leonard Cohen
My reputation as a ladies' man was a joke that caused me to laugh bitterly through the ten thousand nights I spent alone.
Leonard Cohen
Here is your cross, Your nails and your hill And here is your love, That lists where it will
Leonard Cohen
Never make a decision when you need to pee.
Leonard Cohen
No one's ever done one of my songs badly. People say to me, God, so-and-so wrecked that song. Well, I'm unaware of it. Anybody doing one of my tunes has earned my gratitude, and I don't get that many covers where I have the luxury to choose.
Leonard Cohen
Maybe there's a god above but the only thing I learned from love was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you.
Leonard Cohen
No one masters the heart.
Leonard Cohen
