A woman watches her body uneasily, as though it were an unreliable ally in the battle for love.
Leonard Cohen
The Favourite Game

Some say that no one ever leaves Montreal, for that city, like Canada itself, is designed to preserve the past, a past that happened somewhere else.
Leonard Cohen
The Favourite Game

In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.
Leonard Cohen
The Favourite Game

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

Seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
Leonard Cohen
The Favourite Game

The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world.
Leonard Cohen
The Favourite Game

It is painful to recall a past intensity, to estimate your distance from the Belsen heap, to make your peace with numbers. Just to get up each morning is to make a kind of peace.
Leonard Cohen
Lines From My Grandfather's Journal, from book The Spicebox of Earth

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.
Leonard Cohen
Lines From My Grandfather's Journal, from book The Spicebox of Earth

History is a needle
for putting men asleep
anointed with the poison
of all they want to keep.
Leonard Cohen
On Hearing a Name Long Unspoken, from Flowers for Hitler

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.
Leonard Cohen
That's No Way to Say Goodbye
