More quotes by Conor Oberst
Let the poets cry themselves to sleep, and all their tearful words will turn back into steam.
Conor Oberst
Every time I finish a song... most of the time it's in my own head, like this sounds too much like a Townes Van Zandt song, or whoever.

I'm not the most technically savvy person in the world. Like, I'm not good at troubleshooting when stuff happens to my digital music.
Conor Oberst
Everything must belong somewhere. I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.

When you look at what people consider success in the music industry, it's just terrible music.

I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health. I said, 'There's nothing that I can do for you that you can't do for yourself.' He said, 'Oh yes you can. Just hold my hand. I think that that would help.' So I sat with him a while then I asked him how he felt. He said, 'I think I'm cured.'
