Alibi Quotes

There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. For an achievement does not settle anything permanently. We still have to prove our worth anew each day; we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. But when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life. Eric Hoffer
James Ellroy quote: "I got an alibi, just in case you think I did it. Tighter than..."
I got an alibi, just in case you think I did it. Tighter than a crab's ass, and that is air tight. James Ellroy

I suppose we'll never know what really happened in that room, though he did tell police, "I did it because I'm a dirty dog." This is not a very convincing alibi. He may as well have said, "I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one. Chuck Klosterman

Believe me there is no such thing as great suffering, great regret, great memory....everything is forgotten, even a great love. That's what's sad about life, and also what's wonderful about it. There is only a way of looking at things, a way that comes to you every once in a while. That's why it's good to have had love in your life after all, to have had an unhappy passion- it gives you an alibi for the vague despairs we all suffer from. Albert Camus
Even without the mushroom cloudstill I would have hated. Listen. I would have done the same thingseven if there were no death. I will not be held like a drunkardunder the cold tap of facts. I refuse the universal alibi Leonard Cohen
Albert Camus quote: "It is necessary to fall in love, if only to provide an alibi..."
It is necessary to fall in love, if only to provide an alibi for all the random despair you are going to feel anyway. Albert Camus
Leonard Cohen quote: "Anything I tell you is an alibi for something else."Then let's..."

The obstacle became his alibi for weakness. Anais Nin
I imagine that the essential gesture of the Operator is to surprise something or someone (through the little hole in the camera), and that this gesture is therefore perfect when it is performed unbeknownst to the subject being photographed. From this gesture derive all photographs whose principle (or better whose alibi) is “shock”; for the photographic “shock” consists less in traumatizing than in revealing what was so well hidden that the actor himself was unaware or unconscious of it. Roland Barthes
