The last refuge of the insomn...

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

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

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

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

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.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

As we make our way toward the finish line that some of us have already crossed, I never thought I'd get a Grammy Award. In fact, I was always touched by the modesty of their interest.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

I always thought that poetry ...

I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others; it's for others to use.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

Let judges secretly despair o...

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.

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

I never had huge amounts of money when I was young. I had huge amounts of fame, and I always had the sense of labor and recompense. I always said I don't want to work for pay, but I want to get paid for my song.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

This world is full of conflicts and full of things that cannot be reconciled. But there are moments when we can... reconcile and embrace the whole mess, and that's what I mean by 'Hallelujah.'

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

This is the most challenging ...

This is the most challenging activity that humans get into, which is love. You know, where we have the sense that we can't live without love. That life has very little meaning without love.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

If I knew where the good song...

If I knew where the good songs came from, I'd go there more often.

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

Songs seem to take me a long time. I don't know why; they're not especially excellent for taking so long.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

Some people care about their work lasting forever - I have little interest in it.

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

My mind was always very cluttered, so I took great pains to simplify my environment, because if my environment were half as cluttered as my mind, I wouldn't be able to make it from room to room.

Leonard Cohen 302 quotes

Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.

I never really liked poetry readings; I liked to read poetry by myself, but I liked singing, chanting my lyrics to this jazz group.
