It’s a pity if someone… has to console himself for the wreck of his days with the notion that somehow his voice, his work embodies the deepest, most obscure, freshest, rawest oyster of reality in the unfathomable refrigerator of the heart’s ocean, but I am such a one, and there you have it.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

First of all nothing will happen and a little later nothing will happen again.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Why don't you try to do without him, why don't you try to live alone? Do you really need his hands for your passion? Do you really need his heart for your throne? Do you need his labor for your baby? Do you need his beast for the bone? Do you need to hold a leash to be a lady? I know that you can make it, you can make it on your own.

Out of the thousands who are known or who want to be known as poets, maybe one or two are genuine and the rest are fakes, hanging around the sacred precincts, trying to look like the real thing.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Even without the mushroom cloud still I would have hated Listen I would have done the same things even if there were no death I will not be held like a drunkard under the cold tap of facts I refuse the universal alibi
Leonard Cohen

Anything I tell you is an alibi for something else. Then let's be quiet together.
Leonard Cohen

I dreamed about you baby. It was just the other night. Most of you was naked Ah, but some of you was light.

If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to. And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you.
