Leonard Cohen
The less I was of who I was, the better I felt.
Leonard Cohen
a kite is a victim you are sure of. you love it because it pulls.
Leonard Cohen
Poetry is a verdict rather than an intention.
Leonard Cohen
We're always experiencing joy or sadness. But there are lots of people who've closed down. And there are times in one's life when one has to close down just to regroup.
