Conor Oberst Quotes

We’ve all seen the power music has to spread messages of solidarity and hope Picture Quote #1

When you look at what people consider success in the music industry, it’s just terrible music Picture Quote #1

When you write a song, the goal is not to convey the details of your life. You should write a memoir or something if that’s what you’re going to do Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel real confident expressing myself except when I’m writing. I feel kind of scatterbrained. I can see everything from both sides and that makes it hard to reach conclusions. Writing enables me to clarify things Picture Quote #1

It’s dangerous to buy into praise and criticism for what you do when you’re trying to present your music to people. I don’t ignore it completely, but I don’t dwell on it too much Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

To me, a political song is also a personal song. Most political activism has been driven by empathy for other people and the desire for a world that’s less divisive. Even if songs aren’t overtly political, they can make a listener more empathetic Picture Quote #1

When I try to explain to people the big influences in my life, or at least when I first started, the most important ones were my friends who were also writing songs and were typically four or five years older than me Picture Quote #1

When I was younger, I was somewhat of an idealist. I guess I’m a little bit more of a realist now. I think there’s a lot that can be done to make the world a better place, but it’s more about choosing your battles Picture Quote #1

When you’re 16 or 17, I think like most people that age, the first time you experience certain things in life, whether it’s heartbreak or death or love, obviously it’s going to seem like a much bigger deal Picture Quote #1

Men with purple hearts carry silver guns and they will kill a man for what his father has done. But what my father did, I don’t live it: no, I am not him Picture Quote #1

They say they don’t know when but a day is gonna come. When there won’t be a moon and there won’t be a sun. It will just go black. It will just go back to the way it was before Picture Quote #1

So when your new eyes meet mine they won’t see no lies, just love Picture Quote #1

You should never be embarrassed by your trouble with living, because it’s the ones with the sorest throats who have done the most singing Picture Quote #1

I’m always fascinated when people really fervently believe, because I have such a hard time believing anything. When people have real faith in something, it’s fascinating to me. And the fact that so many people, in surveys, so many people say they do. It kind of blows my mind Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You can only really understand good if you have bad, so the idea of heaven or anything that happens for eternity, even if it’s nice, I can’t imagine it being nice forever. Even the idea of forever is kind of ridiculous, which is unfortunate because it’s kind of a nice thing to say, you know Picture Quote #1

My parents ask if I’m alright; I say I’ve just been staying up too late. I need to sleep I need to do something! To get this awful weight up off my chest, keep her pretty ghost from chasing me! Picture Quote #1
