The house is a factory.
Dave Eggers

When we pass by another person without telling them we love them it’s cruel and wrong and we all know this.
Dave Eggers

Writing is a deep-sea dive. You need hours just to get into it: down, down, down. If you're called back to the surface every couple of minutes by an email, you can't ever get back down. I have a great friend who became a Twitterer and he says he hasn't written anything for a year.

When anybody starts out with a memoir, you get the impulse to tell your own story with your own voice, and you get all that out in one fell swoop sometimes.
Dave Eggers

You have what I can afford to give. You are a panhandler, begging for anything, and I am the man walking briskly by, tossing a quarter or so into your paper cup. I can afford to give you this. This does not break me.

Image
Loneliness is just a thing that I'm not personally interested in. So far, it hasn't been on my docket of things to write about.
Dave Eggers
Image
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
Image
Morning comes like a scream through a pinhole.
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.

Why shouldn’t your curiosity about the world be rewarded?

Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane.

Better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than in the middle of some ladder you don’t, right?

I had grown up as a fan of Studs Terkel. In Chicago he sort of looms large and is mentioned often.
