But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.
Leonard Cohen
Image
there's no forsaking what you love no existential leap as witnessed here in time and blood a thousand kisses deep
Leonard Cohen
Image
A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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

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.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.
Leonard Cohen

Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique.
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
Image
The cutting of the gem has to be finished before you can see whether it shines.
Leonard Cohen
Image
I don't know which side is anybody on any more. I don't really care. There is a moment when we have to transcend the side we're on and understand that we are creatures of a higher order.
Leonard Cohen
Image
It doesn't matter how anything happens.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Music is the emotional life of the most people.
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 can work on a verse for a very long time before realising it's not any good and then, and only then, can I discard it.
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
The Maestro says it's Mozart but it sounds like bubble gum when you're waiting for the miracle to come.
Leonard Cohen
Image
We actually lead very violent, passionate lives and I think that we're hungry for insights into this condition. That's why we get all that stuff on television. It's really where we are, really what we are.
Leonard Cohen
Image
You who build these altars now to sacrifice these children , you must not do it anymore. A scheme is not a vision and you never have been tempted by a demon or a god .
Leonard Cohen

Today [people] are ready to take emergency cures, whatever they are, if it's violence, if it's a fascination with serial killing or whatever - the discomfort is so intense. Maybe it's always been like that, certainly it is now.
