About This Quote
A penny for your thoughts is a line from a popular song by the Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. The song is a message about how important it is to keep one's thoughts private, because public sharing of them can lead to embarrassment or awkwardness. "A penny for your thoughts" is a reference to the origin of the song, when Cohen was on a panel with the writer and poet Robert Creeley at a poetry reading held on February 16, 1967, in New York City. At one point during that event Creeley asked the audience for ideas for poems that could be made into songs. Cohen promptly stood up and offered his own poem "A Penny For Your Thoughts", which he declared to be "worth more than any other poem I know."
