More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Never make a decision when you need to pee.
Leonard Cohen
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
The art of longing's over, and it's never coming back.
Leonard Cohen
If you're squeezed for information, / that's when you've got to play it dumb: / You just say you're out there waiting / for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Leonard Cohen
I'm never sure why I do anything, to tell you the truth.
Leonard Cohen
Probably all cultures, certainly Western culture, always have been violent.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
I've expressed my gratitude to my son many times. And his career is far from undistinguished, and it was a great privilege to have someone of this skill bringing this album to conclusion.
Leonard Cohen
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich / Thats how it goes / Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
I have often prayed for you like this Let me have her
Leonard Cohen
You lose your grip, and then you slip into the Masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
And I'll dance with you in Vienna, I'll be wearing a river's disguise. The hyacinth wild on my shoulder my mouth on the dew of your thighs. And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook, with the photographs there and the moss. And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty, my cheap violin and my cross.
Leonard Cohen
I alwaysthought of myself as a competent, minor poet. I know who I'm up against.
Leonard Cohen
All the lousy little poets coming around trying to sound like Charles Manson.
Leonard Cohen
We are awakening from the dream of isolation, from the dream of loneliness, and it's a terrible shock.
Leonard Cohen
ordinary eternal machinery, like the grinding of the stars
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
I read with some amusement my reputation as a ladies' man. My friends are amused by that, too, because they know my life.
Leonard Cohen
The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.
Leonard Cohen
