More quotes by Leonard Cohen
I alwaysthought of myself as a competent, minor poet. I know who I'm up against.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
The obstacles are great and the suffering is great and people have got to make a living.
Leonard Cohen
We used to play music for fun. Much more than now. Now nobody picks up a guitar unless they're paid for it.
Leonard Cohen
First of all nothing will happen and a little later nothing will happen again.
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

Leonard Cohen
there's no forsaking what you love no existential leap as witnessed here in time and blood a thousand kisses deep
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Sail on, sail on, o' might Ship of State. To the shores of need, past the reefs of greed, through the squalls of hate. Sail on, sail on, sail on.
Leonard Cohen
As a young man, Yeats spoke to me in a way I could understand. Shakespeare I couldn't understand, but Yeats I could. It was his subject matter and also I really admired the way he put his personal life on the line.
Leonard Cohen
Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard Cohen
I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me, but the room just filled up with mosquitoes.
Leonard Cohen
But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.
Leonard Cohen
When you stop thinking about yourself all the time, a certain sense of repose overtakes you.
Leonard Cohen
When you're younger, you do have that thing that you were talking about where the mouth goes dry. I mean you have reactions, and you do fall in love.
Leonard Cohen
Only in Canada could somebody with a voice like mine win 'Vocalist of the Year'.
Leonard Cohen
