Additional quotes by Leonard Cohen

I can't run no more
with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

there's no forsaking what you love
no existential leap
as witnessed here in time and blood
a thousand kisses deep
