More quotes by Leonard Cohen
I've seen the future and it's murder.
Leonard Cohen
Get ready for the future: it is murder.
Leonard Cohen
Avoid the flourish. Do not be afraid to be weak. Do not be ashamed to be tired. You look good when you’re tired. You look like you could go on forever. Now come into my arms. You are the image of my beauty .
Leonard Cohen
Well I am the one who loves changing from nothing to one.
Leonard Cohen
I feel that this is a vocabulary that I grew up with. This biblical landscape is very familiar to me, and it's natural that I use those landmarks as references. Once they were universal references and everybody understood and knew them and located them. That's no longer the case today, but it is still my landscape.
Leonard Cohen
The dreamers ride against the men of action. Oh see the men of action falling back.
Leonard Cohen
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing Every time you gave them shelter. I know that kind of man It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
Leonard Cohen
May everyone live, And may everyone die. Hello, my love, And my love, Goodbye.
Leonard Cohen
The big change is the proximity to death.
Leonard Cohen
We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.
Leonard Cohen
When you're younger, you do have that thing that you were talking about where the mouth goes dry. I mean you have reactions, and you do fall in love.
Leonard Cohen
The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.
Leonard Cohen
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask. If you want a different kind of love I'll wear a mask. If you want to strike me down in anger here I stand. If you want a partner in life take my hand. I'm your man.
Leonard Cohen
I hope we [with Patrick Leonard] can come up with something orchestral with some spoken material. And I also, God willing, hope that perhaps another record of songs also might emerge, but one never knows.
Leonard Cohen
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags that time cannot decay, I'm junk but I'm still holding up this little wild bouquet: Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
Leonard Cohen
My mind was always very cluttered, so I took great pains to simplify my environment, because if my environment were half as cluttered as my mind, I wouldn't be able to make it from room to room. This system has just worked for me, even though I've had to sweat over every word. It's just my style.
Leonard Cohen
ordinary eternal machinery, like the grinding of the stars
Leonard Cohen
Your body will never be familiar.
Leonard Cohen
I looked into [Prozac]. I must say that it is certainly a wonder drug.
Leonard Cohen
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
