Poetry Quote by Leonard Cohen — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Who could have foretold”

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

“so much of the world is plunged in darkness and chaos...”

“Show me slowly what I only”

“At first first nothing will happen to us”

“first of all nothing will happen”

“But I have burned already down to bone.”

“Lovers find secret places”

“But you hate poetry!”

“You cannot devote your life to an abstraction. Indeed, life shatters all abstractions in one way or another, including words such as "faith" or "belief". If God is not in the very fabric of existence for you, if you do not find Him (or miss Him!) in the details of your daily life, then religion is just one more way to commit spiritual suicide.”

“Calligraphy of geese”

“And night comes with a gentle storm to permeate the conduits of my blood. And shy rain whispers your name.”
