Paper is a uniquely beautiful format, more so than the web, I think: you need to invest in the aesthetics.

More quotes by Dave Eggers
But everyone disappears, no matter who loves them.
Dave Eggers
The house is a factory.
Dave Eggers
If you think I'm annoying and preachy now, you should have known me in grade school.
Dave Eggers
I don't mean to beat a made-in-America drum, but I would be lying if I said it doesn't feel somehow right to be printing books in the U.S.
Dave Eggers
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
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
I have no idea how people function without near-constant internal chaos. I'd lose my mind.
Dave Eggers
A funny thing happened on the way to utopia: We've turned into this surveillance society and become a race of spies, where we track our kids and we track our spouses and we track our friends. I think very soon there will be an obsolescence of trust, because it's much easier to access a person's location than it is to ask - or to trust.
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
Better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than in the middle of some ladder you don’t, right?
Dave Eggers
Morning comes like a scream through a pinhole.
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
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.
Dave Eggers
We've lost that very simple transaction that's so pure, where a reader can say, I support what you're doing, here's my dollar. I know that you guys are gonna be watchdogs or keep the government accountable, so here's my 50-cent contribution each day. It's just so tidy, and I think so inspiring.
Dave Eggers
But that's one lifetime. Yeah. But while doing that one I'd want to be able to have done other stuff. Whole other lives- the one where I sail- I know, on a boat you made yourself.
Dave Eggers
I see colors like you hear jet planes.
Dave Eggers
I'm interested in the human impact of the giant foot of misplaced government. After all, we encounter it every day.
Dave Eggers
We feel that to reveal embarrassing or private things, we have given someone something, that, like a primitive person fearing that a photographer will steal his soul, we identify our secrets, our past and their blotches, with our identity, that revealing our habits or losses or deeds somehow makes one less of oneself.
Dave Eggers
All I ever wanted was to know what to do.
Dave Eggers
We lose weeks like buttons, like pencils.
