More quotes by Leonard Cohen
And most people have a woman in their heart, most men have a woman in their heart and most women have a man in their heart.
Leonard Cohen
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
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy, golden storm, yes many loved before us, I know we are not new, in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, but now it's come to distances and both of us must try, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.
Leonard Cohen
Follow me, the wise man said, but he walked behind.
Leonard Cohen
I hope we [with Patrick Leonard] can come up with something orchestral with some spoken material. And I also, God willing, hope that perhaps another record of songs also might emerge, but one never knows.
Leonard Cohen
[Prozac] didn't seem to have any effect whatsoever on my melancholy, my dark vision, and everything else that I'd taken it for.
Leonard Cohen
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
No one masters the heart.
Leonard Cohen
A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.
Leonard Cohen
How bitter were the Prozac pills of the last few hundred mornings
Leonard Cohen
As a young man, Yeats spoke to me in a way I could understand. Shakespeare I couldn't understand, but Yeats I could. It was his subject matter and also I really admired the way he put his personal life on the line.
Leonard Cohen
I don't remember lighting this cigarette and I don't remember if I'm here alone or waiting for someone.
Leonard Cohen
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
Growing old becomes clear to you at a certain point. I think it's after the age of 70 you realize - you begin to actually be convinced - you're growing older.
Leonard Cohen
I don't have any spiritual strategy.
Leonard Cohen
I looked into [Prozac]. I must say that it is certainly a wonder drug.
Leonard Cohen
To keep our hearts open is probably the most urgent responsibility you have as you get older.
Leonard Cohen
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.
Leonard Cohen
Ah, grief makes us precise!
Leonard Cohen
Your servant here, he has been told to say it clear, to say it cold: It's over, it ain't going any further And now the wheels of heaven stop you feel the devil's riding crop Get ready for the future: it is murder
Leonard Cohen
