As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I smile when I'm angry , I cheat and I lie. I do what I have to do to get by. But I know what is wrong and I know what is right , and I'd die for the truth in my secret life .
Leonard Cohen
Image
His vision was just outstanding. If you think of him in the same way as Pele then you would come close.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I finally broke into the prison I found my place in the chain Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows
Leonard Cohen
Image
One is given to self-dramatization from time to time. I intend to live forever.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Now, I don't want to give you the impression that I'm a great musicologist, but I'm a lot better than what I was described as for a long, long time you know, people said I only knew three chords when I knew five.
Leonard Cohen

It's four in the morning, the end of december I'm writing you now just to see if you're better.
Leonard Cohen
Image
It is painful to recall a past intensity, to estimate your distance from the Belsen heap, to make your peace with numbers. Just to get up each morning is to make a kind of peace.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Rust rust rust in the engines of love and time.
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
Do not be a magician - be magic!
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I heard of a man who says words so beautifully that if he only speaks their name women give themselves to him. If I am dumb beside your body while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips it is because I hear a man climb stairs and clear his throat outside our door.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation's sweetest dreams of itself.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.
Leonard Cohen
