More quotes by Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
The big change is the proximity to death.
Leonard Cohen
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich / Thats how it goes / Everybody knows.
Leonard Cohen
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
No one's ever done one of my songs badly. People say to me, God, so-and-so wrecked that song. Well, I'm unaware of it. Anybody doing one of my tunes has earned my gratitude, and I don't get that many covers where I have the luxury to choose.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
I bargain now. I offer buttons for his love.
Leonard Cohen
You are locked into your suffering and your pleasures are the seal.
Leonard Cohen
Take one step to the side and it's all absurd.
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
Every heart to Love will come, but like a refugee
Leonard Cohen
I always felt I was scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get a song together.
Leonard Cohen
No one masters the heart.
Leonard Cohen
I’ll be marching through the morning, Marching through the night, Moving 'cross the borders Of My Secret Life.
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
I couldn't feel so I learned to touch.
Leonard Cohen
It's you my love, you who are the stranger.
Leonard Cohen
You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn what makes one kind.
Leonard Cohen
Here's to the few who forgive what you do, and the fewer who don't even care
Leonard Cohen
