More quotes by Leonard Cohen
And here you are hurried, And here you are gone And here is the love, That it's all built upon.
Leonard Cohen
There are a few things that deal with passion. There's Prozac.
Leonard Cohen
Please make me empty, if I'm empty then I can receive, if I can receive it means it comes from somewhere outside of me, if it comes from outside of me I'm not alone! I cannot bear this loneliness. Above all it is loneliness.
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
And what can I tell you, my brother, my killer, what can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you, I'm glad you stood in my way
Leonard Cohen
I loved you when you opened like a lily to the heat you see I’m just another snowman standing in the rain and sleet who loved you with his frozen love, his second hand physique, with all he is and all he was a thousand kisses deep.
Leonard Cohen
It's hard to be serious about so many things. [Look at the whole emphasis] on the charts, if you're a songwriter.
Leonard Cohen
I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me, but the room just filled up with mosquitoes.
Leonard Cohen
..you wanted to be the Superman who was never Clark Kent
Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that you've been faithful, give or take a night or two.
Leonard Cohen
A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the energy of love.
Leonard Cohen
When you stop thinking about yourself all the time, a certain sense of repose overtakes you.
Leonard Cohen
My two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico Garcia Lorca.
Leonard Cohen
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.
Leonard Cohen
I have often prayed for you like this Let me have her
Leonard Cohen
... i didn't fall in love of course it's never up to you but she was walking back and forth and i was passing through
Leonard Cohen
Love is not a victory march
Leonard Cohen
Someone gave me wishes and I wished for an embrace.
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
As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
Leonard Cohen
