No penance serves to renew them, no massive transfusions of trust. Why not even revenge can undo them, so twisted these vows and so crushed.
Leonard Cohen
Image
We are awakening from the dream of isolation, from the dream of loneliness, and it's a terrible shock.
Leonard Cohen
Image
..you wanted to be the Superman who was never Clark Kent
Leonard Cohen
Image
You who build these altars now to sacrifice these children , you must not do it anymore. A scheme is not a vision and you never have been tempted by a demon or a god .
Leonard Cohen
Image
I guess you go for nothing, if you really want to go that far.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I can work on a verse for a very long time before realising it's not any good and then, and only then, can I discard it.
Leonard Cohen
Image
The candles burned The moon went down The polished hill The milky town Transparent, weightless, luminous Uncovering the two of us On that fundamental ground Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound And half the perfect world is found.
Leonard Cohen
Image
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.
Leonard Cohen
Image

Leonard Cohen

Seriousness is the deepest pleasure we have.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I don't think there's any difference between a crush and profound love. I think the experience is that you dissolve your sentries and your battalions for a moment and you really do see that there is this unfixed free-flowing energy of emotion and thought between people, that it really is there.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Dream after dream we all lie in each other's arms
Leonard Cohen
Image
It is painful to recall a past intensity, to estimate your distance from the Belsen heap, to make your peace with numbers. Just to get up each morning is to make a kind of peace.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I'm never sure why I do anything, to tell you the truth.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I'm planning a catastrophe.
Leonard Cohen
Image
But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.
Leonard Cohen
Image
A community is an alibi for the failure of individual love.
Leonard Cohen
Image
The duty of lovers is to tarnish the Golden Rule
Leonard Cohen

Today [people] are ready to take emergency cures, whatever they are, if it's violence, if it's a fascination with serial killing or whatever - the discomfort is so intense. Maybe it's always been like that, certainly it is now.
