More quotes by Leonard Cohen
[Prozac] didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever on my melancholy, my dark vision, and everything else that I'd taken it for.
Leonard Cohen
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen
I don't remember lighting this cigarette and I don't remember if I'm here alone or waiting for someone.
Leonard Cohen
I don't know which side is anybody on any more. I don't really care. There is a moment when we have to transcend the side we're on and understand that we are creatures of a higher order.
Leonard Cohen
This civil action is another case of a tragedy that has become all too familiar in the music industry: a business manager and professional advisers exploit an immensely talented artist's loyalty and trust through greed, self-dealing, concealment, knowing misrepresentation and reckless disregard for professional fiduciary duties.
Leonard Cohen
In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.
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 hope we [with Patrick Leonard] can come up with something orchestral with some spoken material. And I also, God willing, hope that perhaps another record of songs also might emerge, but one never knows.
Leonard Cohen
I alwaysthought of myself as a competent, minor poet. I know who I'm up against.
Leonard Cohen
To keep our hearts open is probably the most urgent responsibility you have as you get older.
Leonard Cohen
I found that things became a lot easier when I no longer expected to win. You abandon your masterpiece and sink into the real masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
Follow me, the wise man said, but he walked behind.
Leonard Cohen
I feel that this is a vocabulary that I grew up with. This biblical landscape is very familiar to me, and it's natural that I use those landmarks as references. Once they were universal references and everybody understood and knew them and located them. That's no longer the case today, but it is still my landscape.
Leonard Cohen
I couldn't feel so I learned to touch.
Leonard Cohen
The duty of lovers is to tarnish the Golden Rule
Leonard Cohen
The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.
Leonard Cohen
The psychologists are valiantly trying to provide us with answers, the religious people are trying to provide us with answers. I think it properly falls on the cultural workers to investigate this predicament with a little less concern for the marketplace and a little more concern for their higher calling.
Leonard Cohen
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
Leonard Cohen
I finally broke into the prison I found my place in the chain Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows
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
