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
Image
Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free!!
Leonard Cohen
Image
I think that any songwriter - and I think that Bob Dylan knows this more than all of us - you don't write the songs anyhow.
Leonard Cohen
Image
My page was too white My ink was too thin The day wouldn't write What the night pencilled in.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I always felt I was scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get a song together.
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'm never sure why I do anything, to tell you the truth.

Poetry is a verdict rather than an intention.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love

In our rags of light, all dressed to kill.
Leonard Cohen

There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn't.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I don't think there's any difference between a crush and profound love. I think the experience is that you dissolve your sentries and your battalions for a moment and you really do see that there is this unfixed free-flowing energy of emotion and thought between people, that it really is there.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I finally broke into the prison I found my place in the chain Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows
Leonard Cohen
Image
Some people are graced with a flow some people are graced with something less than a flow. I'm one of those.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Here's to the few who forgive what you do, and the fewer who don't even care
Leonard Cohen
Image
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth One more thin gypsy thief... Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried... And Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear.

The fact that my songs take a long time to write is no guarantee of their excellence.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I've always held the song in high regard because songs have got me through so many sinks of dishes and so many humiliating courting events.

Be With Me In The Phases Of My Work Because My Brain Feels Like It Has Been Whipped And I Yearn To Make A Small Perfect Thing Which Will Live In Your Morning Like Curious Static Through A President's Elegy Or A Nude Hunchback Acquiring A Tan On The Crowded Oily Beach.
