More quotes by Leonard Cohen
A man never got a woman back... not by begging on his knees.
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
Out of the thousands who are known or who want to be known as poets, maybe one or two are genuine and the rest are fakes, hanging around the sacred precincts, trying to look like the real thing.
Leonard Cohen
You lose your grip, and then you slip into the Masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
I didn't want to write for pay. I wanted to be paid for what I write.
Leonard Cohen
I'm never sure why I do anything, to tell you the truth.
Leonard Cohen
Poetry is a verdict rather than an intention.
Leonard Cohen
My mind was always very cluttered, so I took great pains to simplify my environment, because if my environment were half as cluttered as my mind, I wouldn't be able to make it from room to room. This system has just worked for me, even though I've had to sweat over every word. It's just my style.
Leonard Cohen
I looked into [Prozac]. I must say that it is certainly a wonder drug.
Leonard Cohen
A woman watches her body uneasily, as though it were an unreliable ally in the battle for love.
Leonard Cohen
I couldn't feel so I learned to touch.
Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows the dice are loaded.
Leonard Cohen
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
Leonard Cohen
To the men and women who own men and women those of us meant to be lovers we will not pardon you for wasting our bodies and time
Leonard Cohen
Growing old becomes clear to you at a certain point. I think it's after the age of 70 you realize - you begin to actually be convinced - you're growing older.
Leonard Cohen
Ah, grief makes us precise!
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.
Leonard Cohen
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
I would like to work with Pat [ Leonard] in any capacity. I would love to hear his versions.
Leonard Cohen
Why don't you try to do without him, why don't you try to live alone? Do you really need his hands for your passion? Do you really need his heart for your throne? Do you need his labor for your baby? Do you need his beast for the bone? Do you need to hold a leash to be a lady? I know that you can make it, you can make it on your own.
Leonard Cohen
