I am not the one who loves -

I am not the one who loves -
It's love that chooses me.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I heard of a man who says wor...

I heard of a man who says words so beautifully that if he only speaks their name women give themselves to him. If I am dumb beside your body while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips it is because I hear a man climb stairs and clear his throat outside our door.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

Creators care nothing for the...

Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

We all are motivated by deep ...

We all are motivated by deep impulses and deep appetites to serve, even though we may not be able to locate that which we are hoping to serve. So this is just a part of my nature and I think everybody else's nature to offer oneself at the critical moment when the emergency becomes articulate. It's only then that we can locate that willingness to serve.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

It is painful to recall a pas...

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.

As the mist leaves no scar On the dark green hill So my body leaves no scar On you and never will

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

Although only one man may be receiving the favors of a woman, all men in her presence are warmed.

After a while, if you are sufficiently bored or unemployed, you may want to read it from cover to cover.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

And may my bronze name / touc...

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 302 quotes

I feel that, you know, the en...

I feel that, you know, the enormous luck I've had in being able to make a living, and to never have had to have written one word that I didn't want to write, to be able to have satisfied that dictum I set for myself, which was not to work for pay, but to be paid for my work - just to be able to satisfy those standards that I set for myself has been an enormous privilege.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

If you're squeezed for inform...

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 302 quotes

I've never thought of myself ...

I've never thought of myself as a singer anyway. . . I've been free from those considerations because so many people over the years told me I don't have a voice. I kind of bought that. I never thought that much about it to begin with. I knew I didn't have one of the great voices. As my Damon Runyanesque lawyer used to say, "none of you guys can sing. If I want to hear singing, I'll go to the Metropolitan Opera."

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I do cherish those moments wh...

I do cherish those moments when I can just relax in the hotel room. Because there are a lot of details that have to be taken care of aside from just getting up onstage. You're dealing with a number of human beings whose well-being and safety you're concerned about. There are people I like to meet and talk to in the crew and the band.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

You who build these altars no...

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 302 quotes

Now, I don't want to give you...

Now, I don't want to give you the impression that I'm a great musicologist, but I'm a lot better than what I was described as for a long, long time; you know, people said I only knew three chords when I knew five.

It’s a depressing habit you have of loving to sneeze and of eating apples as if they were juicier for you and being the first one to exclaim how good the movie is. You depress people. We like apples too.

Ring the bells that still can ring.

Anyone who's been a heavy drinker and heavy smoker and has the good future to survive that and give it up knows what a very different kind of daily existence one has. I was smoking a couple of packs of cigarettes a day. And I was drinking heavily on tours.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I've always held the song in ...

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 302 quotes

I'm writing all the time. And...

I'm writing all the time. And as the songs begin to coalesce, I'm not doing anything else but writing. I wish I were one of those people who wrote songs quickly. But I'm not. So it takes me a great deal of time to find out what the song is.
