Every heart to Love will come, but like a refugee

In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.
Leonard Cohen

I had the title poet, and maybe I was one for a while. Also, the title singer was kindly accorded me, even though I could barely carry a tune.

Music is the emotional life of the most people.

Rust rust rust in the engines of love and time.
Leonard Cohen

I think what we like about music - and what we like about art in general....is that enterprise that stops our minds from spinning. Because we're always all over the place. A good song, a good lyric is a movie: it will just focus and calm and confer significance on this completely bewildering reality that all of us live in.
Leonard Cohen
Image
We are awakening from the dream of isolation, from the dream of loneliness, and it's a terrible shock.
Leonard Cohen

You have money, fame, youth, beauty, talent. That's a good start... for feeling good.

A sip of wine, a cigarette, And then it’s time to go. I tidied up the kitchenette I tuned the old banjo. I’m wanted at the traffic-jam. They’re saving me a seat.

You can do anything you want to [ in ashram] if you can find the time. It's a very rigorous day. It starts at 2:30 in the morning and often doesn't end until midnight, so if you can actually find a moment to have a drink or a smoke, you're quite welcome to, as long as it doesn't interfere with your capacity to follow the schedule.
Leonard Cohen
Image
The obstacles are great and the suffering is great and people have got to make a living.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I loved you for a long, long time I know this love is real It don't matter how it all went wrong That don't change the way I feel And I can't believe that time's Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of There ain't no cure for love
Leonard Cohen

The art of longing's over, and it's never coming back.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I've forgotten most of what I've read and, frankly, it never seemed very important to me or to the world.
