Leonard Cohen, Untold Stories Quotes

“a mysterious force that everyone feels and no philosopher has explained…. [It] is not in the throat: the duende surges up, inside, from the soles of the feet. Meaning, it’s not a question of skill, but of a style that’s truly alive: meaning, it’s in the veins: meaning, it’s of the most ancient culture of immediate creation. It is the spirit of the earth.”
― Michael Posner, Leonard Cohen, Untold Stories: From This Broken Hill, Volume 2
