Famous quotes by Leonard Cohen:

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

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

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

"I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy, golden storm, yes many loved before us, I know we are not new, in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, but now it's come to distances and both of us must try, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that's no way to say goodbye."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"Act the way you'd like to be and soon you'll be the way you act."

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

"Out of the thousands who are known or who want to be known as poets, maybe one or two are genuine and the rest are fakes, hanging around the sacred precincts, trying to look like the real thing."

"I don't think you can write novels on the road. You need a certain stability."

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

"I always felt I was scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get a song together."

"I was 15 when I first became deeply touched by the rhythm and structure of words."

"I think the term poet is a very exalted term and should be applied to a man at the end of his work. When he looks back over the body of his work and he's written poetry then let the verdict be that he's a poet."

"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."

"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."
