Leonard Cohen
All the lousy little poets coming around trying to sound like Charles Manson.
Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
And may my bronze name / touch always her thousand fingers / grow brighter with her weeping / until I am fixed like a galaxy / and memorized / in her secret and fragile skies.
Leonard Cohen
I think that any songwriter - and I think that Bob Dylan knows this more than all of us - you don't write the songs anyhow.
Leonard Cohen
Please make me empty, if I'm empty then I can receive, if I can receive it means it comes from somewhere outside of me, if it comes from outside of me I'm not alone! I cannot bear this loneliness. Above all it is loneliness.
Leonard Cohen
Adam [Cohen] is a great singer-songwriter in his own right.
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'm neither left or right. I'm just staying home tonight, getting lost in that hopeless little screen.
Leonard Cohen
There are a few things that deal with passion. There's Prozac.
Leonard Cohen
It doesn't matter what you do because it's going to happen anyway.
Leonard Cohen
There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn't.
Leonard Cohen
