I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me, but the room just filled up with mosquitoes.
Leonard Cohen
Image
A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
Image
And sometimes when the night is slow The wretched and the meek We gather up our hearts and go A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
My page was too white My ink was too thin The day wouldn't write What the night pencilled in.
Leonard Cohen
Image
He can love the shape of human beings, the fine and twisted shapes of the heart. It is good to have among us such men, such balancing monsters of love.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Be With Me In The Phases Of My Work Because My Brain Feels Like It Has Been Whipped And I Yearn To Make A Small Perfect Thing Which Will Live In Your Morning Like Curious Static Through A President's Elegy Or A Nude Hunchback Acquiring A Tan On The Crowded Oily Beach.

I will not be held like a drunkard / under the cold tap of facts
