My page was too white My ink was too thin The day wouldn't write What the night pencilled in.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I see people allowing their l...

I see people allowing their lives to diminish, to become shallow, so they can't enjoy the deep wells of experience. Maybe it's always been this way, when the heart tends to shut down. If only the heart shut down and there were no repercussions, it would be O.K., but when the heart shuts down, the whole system goes into a kind of despair that is intolerable.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

You should go from place to p...

You should go from place to place recovering the poems that have been written for you to which you can affix your signature. Don't discuss these matters with anyone. Retrieve. Retrieve. When the basket is full someone will appear to whom you can present it.

Love is the only engine of survival

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I don't know which side is an...

I don't know which side is anybody on any more. I don't really care. There is a moment when we have to transcend the side we're on and understand that we are creatures of a higher order.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

At the very center of our cul...

At the very center of our culture is a crucified man, a tortured man hanging on a cross of wood. You have an image of violence at the very center of our spiritual investigation.

I want to be paid for my work, not work for my pay.

Reality is one of the possibilities I cannot afford to ignore

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

When you stop thinking about yourself all the time, a certain sense of repose overtakes you.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

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.

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 302 quotes

Any startling piece of work has a subversive element in it, a delicious element often. Subversion is only disagreeable when it manifests in political or social activity.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

At a certain point, if you st...

At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order. It's a cliche, but it's underestimated as an analgesic on all levels. Putting your house in order, if you can do it, is one of the most comforting activities, and the benefits of it are incalculable.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

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

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I speak of a clinical depress...

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 am an old scholar, better-looking now than when I was young. That's what sitting on your ass does to your face.

Journalists, especially English journalists, were very cruel to me. They said I only knew three chords when I knew five!

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

The basic function of popular music is to create an environment for courting, lovemaking, and doing the dishes. It's useful because it addresses the heart in the midst of all these activities, and it will always be useful in this very important way.

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 continually blacken pages and scribble away, so I always have a number of songs that are half-finished.
