Leonard Cohen is a tremendous late bloomer.

Cuando Leonard Cohen nos dijo: "Your private life will suddenly explode", creo que se refería a Facebook.
When Leonard Cohen told us: "Your private life will suddenly explode", I think he was referring to Facebook.
[Lou Reed] is one of the few I feel like I would just lose my shit in front of. I ran into Leonard Cohen one time, I just giggled madly.
Esta noche, fiestón. He quedado con Leonard Cohen y Eduard Punset, y preveo alcohol, drogas y mujeres. Fiestón.
Tonight, big party. I've settled on Leonard Cohen and Eduard Punset, and I foresee alcohol, drugs and women. Big party.

It´s a Hallelujah sort of afternoon over on Twitter, as it so often is.
If you replace hallelujah with 'ave a banana' it really brightens up that old Leonard Cohen song.
(ed. note: yes, if you don't care about scansion)
Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is easily one of the greatest songs ever written. I'm always coming back to it.
Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah is one of the best songs ever. Listen to it a million times. Get million different meanings
And taking a wider perspective than that one song:
Leonard Cohen's voice is so sultry
Eating Alphonso Mangos and listening to Leonard Cohen. Chilled end to a rather pathetic day
Young Leonard Cohen is my hero. Then again, so is Old Leonard Cohen and Middle-Aged Leonard Cohen.

Not a lot of quotes tonight, there's a raft of Twitter bots taking up space.
Love Sunday walks with Leonard Cohen keeping me company. Can't count the amount of great tunes he's written
Bob Dylan said that he'll write anything that rhymes. Love the guy. I personally think Leonard Cohen is a better song writer.
Si Canto Bad Things de Leonard Cohen gritando estoy mal de la cabeza?
If I Sing Bad Things by Leonard Cohen screaming, am I not right in the head?
(does Leonard Cohen have a song called "Bad Things" or does this sound like a more generic reference to transgressive lyrics?)
French press coffee, Leonard Cohen, and sorting my vast collection of lacey underwear... #fancybitch #exquisite
strong coffee and lacy underwear... pretty sure Leonard would be happy to find his songs in such company.

Happy birthday to the only person I've met who likes Leonard Cohen, therefore the coolest person I've met
It depends on the artist. I paid over $100 to see Leonard Cohen and I regret nothing. But he is Leonard Cohen.
I think the fact that there's a Leonard Cohen song in this movie during the sex scene is what totally wins me over

Loving you is like trying to sing along with Leonard Cohen.
:?: As in, "it's difficult because you're so deep?"
You can never blast any Leonard Cohen it just doesn't feel right.
Did my fanly duty and suggested the tweeter try blasting Closing Time, First We Take Manhattan or The Future. I think any of those will work well.
It's a race against time to get from this party to the grocery store to my house in time for "Leonard Cohen Live" on PBS. #nerdproblems
Leonard Cohen, Lhasa de Sela y The Smiths son los depresivos no químicos más bonitos del mundo.
Leonard Cohen, Lhasa de Sela and The Smiths are the most beautiful non-chemical depressants in the world.
First row tickets to see Leonard Cohen #BestFuneralEver
Not quite sure who the "guest of honor" at this best-ever event is supposed to be. Thinking the tweeter may be going to have a more exciting evening than he currently anticipates.

I want Leonard Cohen on vinyl. And the guitar tuned. That is all.
leonard cohen is so sweet
Dear Leonard Cohen, pls allow me avenge the travesty that is the "dance" version of Hallelujah playing in H&M right now.
When I was 16 I listened to Leonard Cohen's "The Future" over and over letting it warp my play-doh brain. Currently revisiting it's magic.
Leonard Cohen is the finest poet alive on earth today. Yeah, I said it.
Promising I'll never forget about Leonard Cohen for Jim's sake.
(and for extra bonus irony points, the name of the Tweeter of that last one was... Marianne)

I'm just going to end up heartbroken like when I couldn't afford to see Leonard Cohen.
