Image
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich / Thats how it goes / Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen
Image
There's a deep tribal aspect to my own nature. So when I'm in contact with those deep resources, of course I feel a very special kind of nourishment.
Leonard Cohen
Image
No penance serves to renew them, no massive transfusions of trust. Why not even revenge can undo them, so twisted these vows and so crushed.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love.
Leonard Cohen
Image
even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.
Leonard Cohen

How bitter were the Prozac pills of the last few hundred mornings
Leonard Cohen
Image
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking. Everybody knows the captain lied. Everybody got this broken feeling, like their father or their dog just died. Everybody talking to their pockets. Everybody wants a box of chocolates and a long-stem rose. Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Everybody knows that you've been faithful, give or take a night or two.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Just to get serious about this thing, you know. One has to be compassionate. It's true that people are up against things, economically and emotionally.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Never make a decision when you need to pee.
Leonard Cohen
Image
[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
Image
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth One more thin gypsy thief... Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried... And Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear.
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
I'm writing all the time. And as the songs begin to coalesce, I'm not doing anything else but writing. I wish I were one of those people who wrote songs quickly. But I'm not. So it takes me a great deal of time to find out what the song is.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Israel, and you who call yourself Israel, the Church that calls itself Israel, and the revolt that calls itself Israel, and every nation chosen to be a nation - none of these lands is yours, all of you are thieves of holiness, all of you at war with Mercy.
Leonard Cohen
Image
And here you are hurried, And here you are gone And here is the love, That it's all built upon.
Leonard Cohen
