I worked at magazines for over 10 years before I even thought of writing a book.
Dave Eggers
Image
I see colors like you hear jet planes.
Dave Eggers
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If you think I'm annoying and preachy now, you should have known me in grade school.
Dave Eggers
Image
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.

Write your goddamned book now. The world awaits.

Image
In hospitals I feel palpable comfort. I feel the competence, the expertise, so much education and money, all of the supplies sterile, everything packaged, sealed tight. My fears evaporate when the automatic doors shush open.
Dave Eggers
Image
I had grown up as a fan of Studs Terkel. In Chicago he sort of looms large and is mentioned often.
Dave Eggers
Image
People are strange, but more than that, they're good. They're good first, then strange.
Dave Eggers
Image
Maybe he was more than the sum of his broken parts.
Dave Eggers
Image
It all meant something. Until it didn't.

Image
There is no faith like the faith of a builder of homes in coastal Louisiana
Dave Eggers
Image
Why do we pursue information that we know will never leave our heads?
Dave Eggers
Image
Once a year, she remembers that she is insignificant. Then she forgets agains, because more than she is insignificant, she is forgetful.
Dave Eggers
Image
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.

It was always difficult to get cattle returned once a marriage was dissolved.
Dave Eggers
Image
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.
