There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn't.
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
Image
Someone gave me wishes and I wished for an embrace.

Rust rust rust in the engines of love and time.
Leonard Cohen
Image
If you're squeezed for information, / that's when you've got to play it dumb: / You just say you're out there waiting / for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Anything I tell you is an alibi for something else. Then let's be quiet together.
Leonard Cohen
Image
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
