The Energy of Slaves QUOTES

1 " Who could have foretold
the heart grows old
from touching others "

― Leonard Cohen , The Energy of Slaves

2 " I walk through the old yellow sunlight
to get to my kitchen table
the poem about me
lying there with the books
in which I am listed
among the dead and future Dylans "

― Leonard Cohen , The Energy of Slaves

3 " I didn't kill myself
when things went wrong
I didn't turn
to drugs or teaching
I tried to sleep
but when I couldn't sleep
I learned to write
I learned to write
what might be read
on nights like this
by one like me "

― Leonard Cohen , The Energy of Slaves
