Leonard Cohen Quotes

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.

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

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

Leonard Cohen

Success is survival.

Leonard Cohen

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

Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen
