There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I don't consider myself a pess...

I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

In dreams the truth is learned...

In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

The older I get, the surer I am that I'm not running the show.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

A woman watches her body uneas...

A woman watches her body uneasily, as though it were an unreliable ally in the battle for love.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

When things get really bad, ju...

When things get really bad, just raise your glass and stamp your feet and do a little jig. That's about all you can do.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

We're in a world where there's...

We're in a world where there's famine and hunger and people are dodging bullets and having their nails pulled out in dungeons so it's very hard for me to place any high value on the work that I do to write a song. Yeah, I work hard but compared to what?

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

We're always experiencing joy ...

We're always experiencing joy or sadness. But there are lots of people who've closed down. And there are times in one's life when one has to close down just to regroup.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

Let judges secretly despair of...

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 302 quotes

Well, for one thing, in the tr...

Well, for one thing, in the tradition of Zen that I've practiced, there is no prayerful worship and there is no affirmation of a deity.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I speak of a clinical depression that is the background of your entire life, a background of anguish and anxiety, a sense that nothing goes well, that pleasure is unavailable and all your strategies collapse.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I always considered myself a minor writer. My province is small, and I try to explore it very, very thoroughly.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I read with some amusement my reputation as a ladies' man. My friends are amused by that, too, because they know my life.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

To every people the land is gi...

To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation's sweetest dreams of itself.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I had the title poet, and maybe I was one for a while. Also, the title singer was kindly accorded me, even though I could barely carry a tune.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

We used to play music for fun. Much more than now. Now nobody picks up a guitar unless they're paid for it.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

Women stand for the objective ...

Women stand for the objective world for a man. They stand for the thing that you're not and that's what you always reach for in a song.
