Image
And sometimes when the night is slow The wretched and the meek We gather up our hearts and go A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Leonard Cohen
Image
In streams of light I clearly saw The dust you seldom see, Out of which the Nameless makes A Name for one like me... All busy in the sunlight The flecks did float and dance, And I was tumbled up with them In formless circumstance.

Leonard Cohen
Image
I'm never sure why I do anything, to tell you the truth.
Leonard Cohen
Image
You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal.
Leonard Cohen

My two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico Garcia Lorca.
Leonard Cohen

Follow me, the wise man said, but he walked behind.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I don't know which side is anybody on any more. I don't really care. There is a moment when we have to transcend the side we're on and understand that we are creatures of a higher order.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armor themselves against wonder.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Most of our distractions are designed to invite us away from this recognition, which is a good idea.
Leonard Cohen

In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.
