Text Quotes
A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the energy of love  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) There are always meaningful songs for somebody. People are doing their courting, people are finding their wives, people are making babies, people are washing their dishes, people are getting through the day, with songs that we may find insignificant. But their significance is affirmed by others. There’s always someone affirming the significance of a song by taking a woman into his arms or by getting through the night. That’s what dignifies the song. Songs don’t dignify human activity. Human activity dignifies the song  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) When it all comes down to dust I will kill you if I must, I will help you if I can. When it all comes down to dust I will help you if I must, I will kill you if I can  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) I smile when I’m angry, I cheat and I lie. I do what I have to do to get by.

Oh see the men of action falling back  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) Although only one man may be receiving the favors of a woman, all men in her presence are warmed  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) 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 Quotes) Please make me empty, if I’m empty then I can receive, if I can receive it means it comes from somewhere outside of me, if it comes from outside of me I’m not alone! I cannot bear this loneliness. Above all it is loneliness  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) He can love the shape of human beings, the fine and twisted shapes of the heart.

You abandon your masterpiece and sink into the real masterpiece  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) Stunned and still not suffering. Swollen with care and anxiety and still not suffering. Useless, old and full of grief, but still not suffering  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) It’s four in the morning, the end of December I’m writing you now just to see if you’re better  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) Fare thee well my nightingale, I lived but to be near you. Thow you are singing somewhere still I can no longer hear you  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) I don’t really understand that process called reincarnation but if there is such a thing I’d like to come back as my daughter’s dog  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) I’m writing all the time.

So it takes me a great deal of time to find out what the song is  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) 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 Quotes) I didn’t want to write for pay. I wanted to be paid for what I write  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) The cutting of the gem has to be finished before you can see whether it shines  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) Maybe there’s a God above but the only thing I learned from love was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) What a beautiful testament to the creative spirit and its true motives, to creative contribution coming from a place of purpose rather than a hunger for profit  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) I’ve seen the nations rise and fall. I’ve heard their stories, heard them all, but love’s the only engine of survival  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) ... a young nurse is standing close behind me wondering whether she is being drawn by my power or her charity  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) Do not believe the truth. The truth is tiny compared to what you have to do  (Leonard Cohen Quotes) When you stop thinking about yourself all the time, a certain sense of repose overtakes you  (Leonard Cohen Quotes)
