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

“At first first nothing will happen to us”

“Deprivation is the mother of poetry.”

“Who could have foretold”

“first of all nothing will happen”

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

“I heard of a man”

“In this universe there are no time machines or keys that can turn hearts back around.”

“From the time I began to read, as a child, I loved to feel their heft in my hand and the warm spot caused by their intimate weight in my lap; I loved the crisp whisper of a page turning, the musky odor of old paper and the sharp inky whiff of new pages. Leather bindings sent me into ecstasy. I even loved to gaze at a closed book and daydream about the possibilities inside.”

“I swear that girl was born with a pen in her hand, the moon in her hair, and stars in her soul.”

“Look deeper through the telescope”

“Hair tangled with the wind”

“You will recognize your own path”
