Well, if you die… that’s a bummer…
— Conor Oberst (When asked “How drunk is too drunk?”)
I scream for the sunlight or car to take me anywhere,
just get me past this dead and eternal snow,

and if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere,
just take me there.
(Lie to me and say “It’s gonna be alright”)
— Conor Oberst (If Winter Ends)

I have learned that nothing is as pressing as the one who’s pressing would like you to believe. I’m content to walk a little slower, because there’s nowhere that I really need to be.
— Conor Oberst (Difference In The Shades)
Please forgive what I have done. No you can’t stay mad at the setting sun because we all get tired, I mean eventually there’s nothing left to do but sleep
— Conor Oberst (No Lies, Just Love)
