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.

More quotes by Leonard Cohen
even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.
Leonard Cohen
I try to make those references. I try to make sure that they're not too obscure. But outside of that, I dare not claim anything in the spiritual realm for my own.
Leonard Cohen
I don't think you can write novels on the road. You need a certain stability.
Leonard Cohen
Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard Cohen
I've forgotten most of what I've read and, frankly, it never seemed very important to me or to the world.
Leonard Cohen
Coroner's inquest: death by drowning. And he hasn't been to the sea-shore in ten years.
Leonard Cohen
English, I know you ... you are German with a license to kill.
Leonard Cohen
I noticed that when I was on Prozac my relationship with the landscape improved. I actually stopped thinking about myself for a minute or two, because most of the thoughts one has about oneself are involved with desire or loneliness or isolation or strategies to overcome them.
Leonard Cohen
The obstacles are great and the suffering is great and people have got to make a living.
Leonard Cohen
May everyone live, And may everyone die. Hello, my love, And my love, Goodbye.
Leonard Cohen
I won't comment on what Bob Dylan said, but I will comment on his receiving the Nobel Prize, which to me is like pinning a medal on Mount Everest for being the highest mountain.
Leonard Cohen
Here is your cross, Your nails and your hill And here is your love, That lists where it will
Leonard Cohen
What is most original in a man's nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn't have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.
Leonard Cohen
The less I was of who I was, the better I felt.
Leonard Cohen
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes one kind.
Leonard Cohen
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
I can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen
My son and my daughter have both been an incredibly sustaining force, especially through this recent bad patch [of health]. So, I've been blessed and grateful for their company and for their assistance.
Leonard Cohen
Women stand for the objective world for a man. They stand for the thing that you're not and that's what you always reach for in a song.
Leonard Cohen
We actually lead very violent, passionate lives and I think that we're hungry for insights into this condition. That's why we get all that stuff on television. It's really where we are, really what we are.
Leonard Cohen
