More quotes by Conor Oberst
I think that obviously the quest for purpose, or meaning, or understanding to existence is something that I always think about, always deal with.

Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.

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.'

Desaparecidos try to be the opposite of apathetic. There are so many young people in America that are apathetic.
Conor Oberst
I don't see any harm in letting whatever comes out come out of you, even if it's sort of weird, or dark, or painful, or too embarrassing, or whatever. I feel like you might as well get it down for yourself. It can't do anything but help you get to where you want to be by recognizing the thoughts that you're having.

We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul.

i keep drinking the ink from my pen and i'm balancing history books up on my head but it all boils down to one quotable phrase if you love something give it away
Conor Oberst
I swear that I'm dying slowly but it's happening, and if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere... just take me there.

For a sunrise or a sunset, you're manic or you're depressed. Will you ever feel ok?

Pronouns really don't matter in a song - 'I' or 'he' or 'she' or even subscribing a lyric to an inanimate object.
Conor Oberst
If I could act like This was my real life, And not some cage where I've been placed, Well then, I could tell you The truth like I used to And not be afraid of sounding fake.
Conor Oberst
I find that moving keeps me optimistic, the idea of what's going to be down the road a bit or around the next bend.
