Friend, when you speak this carefully I know it is because you don't know what to say.
Leonard CohenThe obstacles are great and the suffering is great and people have got to make a living.
Leonard CohenExcept for a couple of hours in the morning which I passed in the company of a sage I stayed in bed without food only a few mouthfuls of water โyou are a fine looking old manโ I said to myself in the mirror โand what is more you have the correct attitude You donโt care if it ends or if it goes on And as for the women and the music there will be plenty of that in Paradiseโ Then I went to the Mosque of Memory to express my gratitude
Leonard CohenIt's been a long time since I've stood on a stage in London. Was about 14 or 15 years ago, I was 60 years old, just a kid with a crazy dream. Since then I've taken a lot of Prozac, Paxil, Wellbutrin, Effexor, Ritalin, Focalin. I've also studied deeply in the philosophies and the religions, but cheerfulness kept breaking through.
