Why did we do that to Pluto? We had it good with Pluto.
Dave Eggers
I often cannot believe the things I do.
Dave Eggers
It was always difficult to get cattle returned once a marriage was dissolved.
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
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
People are strange, but more than that, they're good. They're good first, then strange.
Dave Eggers
We would oppose the turning of the planet and refuse the setting of the sun.
Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers
But of course there's no logic to San Francisco generally, a city built with putty and pipe cleaners, rubber cement and colored construction paper. It's the work of fairies, elves, happy children with new crayons
Dave Eggers
There is no faith like the faith of a builder of homes in coastal Louisiana
Dave Eggers
When I was on the bestseller list with the first book, everyone who knows me knows that every week it continued to be on the list was a very dark week for me. Everyone knows that all I wanted was to be off that list.
Dave Eggers
Suffering is only suffering if it’s done in silence, in solitude. Pain experienced in public, in view of loving millions, was no longer pain. It was communion.
Dave Eggers
He must trust, and he must have faith. And so he builds, because what is building, and rebuilding and rebuilding again, but an act of faith?
Dave Eggers
Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane.
Dave Eggers
It all meant something. Until it didn't.
Dave Eggers
The weird thing is that working within an established story was actually kind of liberating. You know the beginning and middle and end, more or less, so there's less pressure to figure all that out.
Dave Eggers
She needs a new journal. The one she has is problematic. To get to the present, she needs to page through the past, and when she does, she remembers things, and her new journal entries become, for the most part, reactions to the days she regrets, wants to correct, rewrite.
Dave Eggers
I can remember exactly where I sat when my teacher first read Roald Dahl's 'James and the Giant Peach'.
