More quotes by Leonard Cohen

Image
You should go from place to place recovering the poems that have been written for you to which you can affix your signature. Don't discuss these matters with anyone. Retrieve. Retrieve. When the basket is full someone will appear to whom you can present it.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Here's to the few who forgive what you do, and the fewer who don't even care
Leonard Cohen
Image
It's inappropriate for an elderly chap to register, you know, authentically, his feelings, you know, because they really can be interpreted. So you have to get quite covert as you get older. Or you have to find some avuncular way, you know, of responding.
Leonard Cohen
Image
It is painful to recall a past intensity, to estimate your distance from the Belsen heap, to make your peace with numbers. Just to get up each morning is to make a kind of peace.
Leonard Cohen

Get ready for the future: it is murder.
Leonard Cohen

There's a deep tribal aspect to my own nature. So when I'm in contact with those deep resources, of course I feel a very special kind of nourishment.
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
May everyone live, And may everyone die. Hello, my love, And my love, Goodbye.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong, I will make it all up to thee.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I didn't want to write for pay. I wanted to be paid for what I write.
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
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
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
Image
The obstacles are great and the suffering is great and people have got to make a living.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
Image
Although only one man may be receiving the favors of a woman, all men in her presence are warmed. That's the great Generosity of women and the great generosity of the Creator who worked it out is that there are no unilateral agreements on sexuality.
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

To the men and women who own men and women those of us meant to be lovers we will not pardon you for wasting our bodies and time

You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal.
