You can say that I've grown bitter but of this you can be sure. The rich have get their channels in the bedrooms of the poor. And there's a mighty Judgement coming but I may be wrong.
Leonard Cohen

More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Your servant here, he has been told to say it clear, to say it cold: It's over, it ain't going any further And now the wheels of heaven stop you feel the devil's riding crop Get ready for the future: it is murder
Leonard Cohen
Here's to the few who forgive what you do, and the fewer who don't even care
Leonard Cohen
Ah, grief makes us precise!
Leonard Cohen
Avoid the flourish. Do not be afraid to be weak. Do not be ashamed to be tired. You look good when you’re tired. You look like you could go on forever. Now come into my arms. You are the image of my beauty .
Leonard Cohen
The term clinical depression finds its way into too many conversations these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe has occurred in the psychic landscape.
Leonard Cohen
I don't think you can write novels on the road. You need a certain stability.
Leonard Cohen
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.
Leonard Cohen
What is most original in a man's nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn't have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.
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
Even without the mushroom cloud still I would have hated Listen I would have done the same things even if there were no death I will not be held like a drunkard under the cold tap of facts I refuse the universal alibi
Leonard Cohen
My page was too white My ink was too thin The day wouldn't write What the night pencilled in.
Leonard Cohen
May everyone live, And may everyone die. Hello, my love, And my love, Goodbye.
Leonard Cohen
It's like a bear stumbling into a beehive or a honey cache: I'm stumbling right into it and getting stuck, and it's delicious and it's horrible and I'm in it and it's not very graceful and it's very awkward and it's very painful and yet there's something inevitable about it.
Leonard Cohen
All the lousy little poets coming around trying to sound like Charles Manson.
Leonard Cohen
And here you are hurried, And here you are gone And here is the love, That it's all built upon.
Leonard Cohen
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
Leonard Cohen
A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the energy of love.
Leonard Cohen
It just takes a long time for me [to write a song]. I'm very slow. And it comes, kind of, by dribbles and drops.
Leonard Cohen
The less I was of who I was, the better I felt.
Leonard Cohen
And may my bronze name / touch always her thousand fingers / grow brighter with her weeping / until I am fixed like a galaxy / and memorized / in her secret and fragile skies.
Leonard Cohen
