Leonard Cohen, quoted by Peter Howell, Addicted To Noise (1995-08-06).
“
I'm sorry I couldn't have spoken to the young man. I see a lot of people at the Zen Center, who have gone through drugs and found a way out that is not just Sunday school. There are always alternatives, and I might have been able to lay something on him. Or maybe not.
— Leonard Cohen
