Additional quotes by Leonard Cohen

even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.

I stopped stopping and I stopped starting, and I allowed myself to be crushed by ignorance.

The lie in what's holy, the light in what's not
The story's been written the letter's been sealed
You gave me a lily but now it's a field
