- I have three dads: my biological father, God and Bob Dylan.
- From the article A Mysterious Case of the White Stripes from Rolling Stone Magazine
- I saw a review of our new album, and it said, "Every single component of the White Stripes is a gigantic lie." What does that mean? Have I sat down and said I was born in Mississippi? No. Did I say I grew up on a plantation and learned how to play guitar from a blind man? I never said anything like that. It's funny that people think me and Meg sit up late at night, in front of a gas lamp, and come up with these intricate lies to trick people.

- It is the pursuit of happiness that brings us happiness, and not the happiness achieved.

- I'd got accepted to the seminary in Wisconsin, and I was gonna become a priest, but the last second I thought, 'I’ll just go to public school.' I had just gotten a new amplifier in my bedroom, and I didn’t think I was allowed to take it with me.
- It looks like we are going to go ahead with it, ... I think we would go ahead with the show even if I had to sit out there on the front porch with a guitar by myself!
- about a show that was almost postponed due to high winds
- Let me just say that if whatever said radio station tries to blacklist us for my comments about their balloons, I would like them to know I want a written apology tomorrow for interrupting my song.
- Is this some kind of fucking radio promotion? What the fuck is this?
- in a show at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California after some balloons bearing a radio station's logo floated on stage.

Song Lyrics
- The nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds
But it's always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon
- I blew it
And if I knew what to do, then I'd do it
But the point that I have, I'll get to it
That forever for her is over for me
Forever
Just the word that she said that means never
To be with another together
And with the weight of a feather it tore into me.
- My friends are all dying, and death can't be lying
It's the truth and it don't make a noise.
- Well strip the bark right off a tree and just hand it this way
Don't even need a drink of water to make the headache go away
Give me a sugar pill and watch me just rattle down the street
Acetaminophen
You see the medicine
Oh girl, you have no faith in medicine.
- Listen master can I ask you a question
Is it the fingers, or the brain
that you're teaching this lesson?
- Well I never said I wouldn't throw my jacket in the mud for you
but my father gave it to me so maybe I should carry you
Then you said "You almost dropped me" so then I did
and I got mud on my shoes.
- Come and tell me what you're thinking
'Cause just when the boat is sinking
A little light is blinking
And I will come and rescue you.
- Soft hair and a velvet tongue
I wanna give you what you give to me
And every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me.
- All the words are gonna bleed from me, and I will think no more.
