More quotes by Conor Oberst
Because the truth is that gossip is as good as gospel in this town. You can save face but you won't ever save your soul. And that's a fact.
Conor Oberst
So when your new eyes meet mine they won't see no lies, just love.

I have a car in Nebraska. When I bought it, they gave me a satellite radio, and there's an 'indie-rock' station. It's just nothing I'm interested in.
Conor Oberst
With science and reason throughout history, what people believed turned out to be false. So I like to keep an open mind to all perspectives and learn and become more fully realised as a person. I just feel we're never going to know what the full picture is.
Conor Oberst
I'm kind of like, never say never.
Conor Oberst
I really just want to be warm yellow light that pours over everyone I love.

When everything is lonely I can be my best friend.
Conor Oberst
If you love something, give it away...

There's a major underlying idea as you grow up that you need to just save your money and get that affordable housing at the edge of town where you're away from the city where all the crime happens or whatever.
Conor Oberst
It seems like everything I do musically I tend to lose a few fans and gain a few fans, and it all kind of evens out.
Conor Oberst
My dad, who plays guitar and piano and was in cover bands, along with my older brother, Matt, taught me guitar and stuff. I started writing acoustic songs and playing by myself in 7th grade.
Conor Oberst
And me I'm in the bathroom crying out my eyelids because it's hard to be a man when you're scared, just like a little kid.
Conor Oberst
So I wait for the day when I'll hear the key as it turns in the lock And the guard will say to me, Oh my patient prisoner you waited for this day and finally, you are free! You are free! You are free!
Conor Oberst
I drink to stay warm, and to kill selected memories
Conor Oberst
Cause a costume can be comfortable It can make you feel more beautiful It can even make you look like someone else But it's still you, so there's nothing you can do Like a bad habit, the one you couldn't kick, there it always is And it's nothing that no doctor's gonna fix.
Conor Oberst
Why are you scared to dream of god when it's salvation that you want?
Conor Oberst
I don't hold anything against Barack Obama. I just think the system is so corrupt, it doesn't matter how well-intentioned someone is, as I believe he was and is. At the end of the day, I think it just comes down to money. This is all about class warfare. All of our political problems.
Conor Oberst
I love story songs. It's just, for me, they're harder to write, and sometimes they sound too intended or something.
Conor Oberst
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers and laid entwined together on a bed of clover and left there to sleep, left there to dream of their happiness.
