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

  • To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation's sweetest dreams of itself.

  • 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.

  • Music is the emotional life of most people.

  • We used to play music for fun. Much more than now. Now nobody picks up a guitar unless they're paid for it.
