More quotes by Leonard Cohen
Music is the emotional life of the most people.
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
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
Israel, and you who call yourself Israel, the Church that calls itself Israel, and the revolt that calls itself Israel, and every nation chosen to be a nation - none of these lands is yours, all of you are thieves of holiness, all of you at war with Mercy.
Leonard Cohen
It doesn't matter how anything happens.
Leonard Cohen
His vision was just outstanding. If you think of him in the same way as Pele then you would come close.
Leonard Cohen
And I'll dance with you in Vienna, I'll be wearing a river's disguise. The hyacinth wild on my shoulder my mouth on the dew of your thighs. And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook, with the photographs there and the moss. And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty, my cheap violin and my cross.
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
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
I'm writing all the time. And as the songs begin to coalesce, I'm not doing anything else but writing. I wish I were one of those people who wrote songs quickly. But I'm not. So it takes me a great deal of time to find out what the song is.
Leonard Cohen
It's time that we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
Leonard Cohen
It's you my love, you who are the stranger.
Leonard Cohen
There are a few things that deal with passion. There's Prozac.
Leonard Cohen
Garages, barns and attics are always older than the buildings to which they are attached.
Leonard Cohen
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes one kind.
Leonard Cohen
Coroner's inquest: death by drowning. And he hasn't been to the sea-shore in ten years.
Leonard Cohen
Please make me empty, if I'm empty then I can receive, if I can receive it means it comes from somewhere outside of me, if it comes from outside of me I'm not alone! I cannot bear this loneliness. Above all it is loneliness.
Leonard Cohen
Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique.
Leonard Cohen
Do not be a magician - be magic!
Leonard Cohen
Take one step to the side and it's all absurd.
Leonard Cohen
