Quotes

Maybe there's a God above, As for me, all I've ever seemed to learn from love. Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. Yeah but it's not a complaint that you hear tonight, It's not the laughter of someone who claims to have seen the light. No it's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah. Leonard Cohen
Blessed is the covenant of love, the covenant of mercy, useless light behind the terror, deathless song in the house of night. Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen quote: "We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made. In..."
We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made. In love we disappear. Leonard Cohen
When you call me close to tell me your body is not beautiful I want to summon the eyes and hidden mouths of stone and light and water to testify against you. Leonard Cohen
My heart sings of your longing for me, and my thoughts climb down to marvel at your mercy. I do not fear as you gather up my days. Your name is the sweetness of time, and you carry me close into the night, speaking consolations, drawing down lights from the sky, saying, See how the night has no terrors for one who remembers the name.

He never described himself as a poet or his work as poetry. The fact that the lines do not come to the edge of the page is no guarantee. Poetry is a verdict, not an occupation. He hated to argue about the techniques of verse. The poem is a dirty, bloody, burning thing that has to be grabbed first with bare hands. Once the fire celebrated Light, the dirt Humility, the blood Sacrifice. Now the poets are professional fire-eaters, freelancing at any carnival. The fire goes down easily and honours... Leonard Cohen
In streams of light I clearly saw. The dust you seldom see, Out of which the Nameless makes. A Name for one like me... All busy in the sunlight. The flecks did float and dance, And I was tumbled up with them. In formless circumstance. Leonard Cohen
I can't run no more with that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen quote: "Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect..."
Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen quote: "There is a crack in everything.That's how the light gets in."
There is a crack in everything.That's how the light gets in. Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen quote: "In our rags of light, all dressed to kill."
In our rags of light, all dressed to kill. Leonard Cohen
