Do not be a magician - be magic!
Leonard Cohen
Image
Just to get serious about this thing, you know. One has to be compassionate. It's true that people are up against things, economically and emotionally.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I heard of a man who says words so beautifully that if he only speaks their name women give themselves to him. If I am dumb beside your body while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips it is because I hear a man climb stairs and clear his throat outside our door.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Women stand for the objective world for a man. They stand for the thing that you're not and that's what you always reach for in a song.
Leonard Cohen
Image
The dreamers ride against the men of action. Oh see the men of action falling back.
Leonard Cohen

The psychologists are valiantly trying to provide us with answers, the religious people are trying to provide us with answers. I think it properly falls on the cultural workers to investigate this predicament with a little less concern for the marketplace and a little more concern for their higher calling.

You lose your grip, and then you slip into the Masterpiece.
Leonard Cohen
Image
The term clinical depression finds its way into too many conversations these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe has occurred in the psychic landscape.
Leonard Cohen
Image
The candles burned The moon went down The polished hill The milky town Transparent, weightless, luminous Uncovering the two of us On that fundamental ground Where love's unwilled, unleashed, unbound And half the perfect world is found.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me, but the room just filled up with mosquitoes.
Leonard Cohen
Image
In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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'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.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I guess you go for nothing, if you really want to go that far.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.
Leonard Cohen
Image
a kite is a victim you are sure of. you love it because it pulls.
Leonard Cohen

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

The big change is the proximity to death.
