Take one step to the side and it's all absurd.
Leonard Cohen
Image
It was a dance of masks and every mask was perfect because every mask was a real face and every face was a real mask so there was no mask and there was no face for there was but one dance in which there was but one mask but one true face which was the same and which was a thing without a name which changed and changed into itself over and over.

No one's ever done one of my songs badly. People say to me, God, so-and-so wrecked that song. Well, I'm unaware of it. Anybody doing one of my tunes has earned my gratitude, and I don't get that many covers where I have the luxury to choose.
Leonard Cohen
Image
And most people have a woman in their heart, most men have a woman in their heart and most women have a man in their heart.
Leonard Cohen

Act the way you'd like to be and soon you'll be the way you act.
Leonard Cohen

The wars they will be fought again The holy dove be caught again bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free.
Leonard Cohen

Seriousness is the deepest pleasure we have.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Maybe there's a god above but the only thing I learned from love was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you.
Leonard Cohen
Image
But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I looked into [Prozac]. I must say that it is certainly a wonder drug.
Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows that you've been faithful, give or take a night or two.
Leonard Cohen
