After his official Facebook page told followers, "It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away," fans including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and k.d lang, among many others, have taken to tweeting their most-loved passages from Cohen’s catalogue.

With 14 albums, 13 poetry collections and two novels, there's no lack of inspiration when it comes to quoting the hugely influential artist, who told the New York Timesonly a few weeks ago, "I am ready to die. I hope it's not too uncomfortable. That's about it for me."

Similarly, Cohen's last album, You Want It Darker, released Oct. 21, opens with the poignant line, "Hineni Hineni / I’m ready my Lord."

In the midst of a very eventful and tumultuous 2016, it seems apt that a man who sung in prophetic pitch about politics, isolation, religion, sex, and death would say goodbye for good.
