More quotes by Dave Eggers
I publish my own books, so there isn't a certain editor I owe the book to at a publishing house.
Dave Eggers
You know how you finish a bag of chips and you hate yourself? You know you’ve done nothing good for yourself. That’s the same feeling, and you know it is, after some digital binge. You feel wasted and hollow and diminished.
Dave Eggers
Good artists exist in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are.
Dave Eggers
He wanted to fly in lightweight contraptions with her.
Dave Eggers
You know, it's been proven that 35 to 40 hours a year with one-on-one attention, a student can get one grade level higher
Dave Eggers
There is travel and there are babies everything else is drudgery and death.
Dave Eggers
The air is like being wanted, we say, and they nod approvingly. The air is like getting older, they say, and they touch our arms gently.
Dave Eggers
Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane.
Dave Eggers
To me, the print business model is so simple, where readers pay a dollar for all the content within, and that supports the enterprise. The web model is just so much more complicated, and involves this third party of advertisers, and all these other sources of revenue that are sort of provisional, but haven't been proven yet.
Dave Eggers
The key thing is managed awareness of your role in the world and history. Think too much and you know you are nothing. Think just enough and you know you are small, but important to some. That's the best you can do.
Dave Eggers
I met a lot of great people in Saudi Arabia and I'd like to see them again. And I'd love to spend more time in the desert and in the mountains. I felt really at home there.
Dave Eggers
There's nothing to be gained from passive observance, the simple documenting of conditions, because, at its core, it sets a bad example. Every time something is observed and not fixed, or when one has a chance to give in some way and does not, there is a lie being told, the same lie we all know by heart but which needn't be reiterated.
Dave Eggers
My voice and movements are restricted by the things I own.
Dave Eggers
Pain comes at me and I take it, chew it for a few minutes, and spit it back out. It's just not my thing anymore.
Dave Eggers
Every time my brain parks the car neatly in the driveway, my mouth drives through the back of the garage.
Dave Eggers
I think there's a future where the Web and print coexist and they each do things uniquely and complement each other, and we have what could be the ultimate and best-yet array of journalistic venues.
Dave Eggers
Well, my background is journalism. I don't have any creative-writing experience except for one class I took as a sophomore in college.
Dave Eggers
When I'm doing work online or on the computer, it's one thing. When I want to read, I want to go elsewhere, and I want to be away from the screen.
Dave Eggers
We have advantages. We have a cushion to fall back on. This is abundance. A luxury of place and time. Something rare and wonderful. It's almost historically unprecedented. We must do extraordinary things. We have to. It would be absurd not to.
Dave Eggers
You invite things to happen. You open the door. You inhale. And if you inhale the chaos, you give the chaos, the chaos gives back.
Dave Eggers
