- Leonard acknowledges that the whole act of living contains immense amounts of sorrow and hopelessness and despair; and also passion, high hopes, deep love, and eternal love. (en)
- A Jew remains a Jew. Now it's war and there's no need for explanations. My name is Cohen, no? (en)
- It's inevitable that Mr. Cohen will be remembered above all for his lyrics. They are terse and acrobatic, scriptural and bawdy, vividly descriptive and enduringly ambiguous, never far from either a riddle or a punch line. (en)
- People think Leonard is dark, but actually his sense of humour and his edge on the world is extremely light. (en)
- For six decades, Leonard Cohen revealed his soul to the world through poetry and song - his deep and timeless humanity touching our very core. Simply brilliant. His music and words will resonate forever. (en)
- It is a beautiful thing for us to be so deeply interested in each other. You have to write about something. Women stand for the objective world for a man, and they stand for the thing that you're not. And that's what you always reach for in a song. (en)
- Over a musical career that spanned nearly five decades, Mr. Cohen wrote songs that addressed—in spare language that could be both oblique and telling—themes of love and faith, despair and exaltation, solitude and connection, war and politics. (en)
