Leonard Cohen Love Quotations

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

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

Well I've seen your flag on the marble arch and love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Fare thee well my nightingale, I lived but to be near you. Thow you are singing somewhere still I can no longer hear you.

I loved you when you opened like a lily to the heat; you see I’m just another snowman standing in the rain and sleet who loved you with his frozen love, his second hand physique, with all he is and all he was a thousand kisses deep.

To the men and women who own men and women those of us meant to be lovers we will not pardon you for wasting our bodies and time

I loved you for a long, long time I know this love is real It don't matter how it all went wrong That don't change the way I feel And I can't believe that time's Gonna heal this wound I'm speaking of There ain't no cure for love

I felt like if any two people had any kind of sexual affinity for each other they had to sleep with each other immediately, otherwise it was a terrible betrayal and waste...Fortunately, I'm relieved of those obsessions now. It's really wonderful. It's really wonderful not feeling you have to sleep with everybody.
