More quotes by Dave Eggers
I'm better than you think. I'm even better than I think I am.
Dave Eggers
We would oppose the turning of the planet and refuse the setting of the sun.
Dave Eggers
No one’s forcing you to do this. You willingly tie yourself to these leashes. And you willingly become utterly socially autistic. You no longer pick up on basic human communication clues. You’re at a table with three humans, all of whom are looking at you and trying to talk to you, and you’re staring at a screen, searching for strangers in Dubai.
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
It was always difficult to get cattle returned once a marriage was dissolved.
Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers
It all meant something. Until it didn't.
Dave Eggers
I often cannot believe the things I do.
Dave Eggers
A combination of acting, lying, begging, and cheating.
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
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
If you think I'm annoying and preachy now, you should have known me in grade school.
Dave Eggers
Maybe he was more than the sum of his broken parts.
Dave Eggers
We lose weeks like buttons, like pencils.
Dave Eggers
I still get my news from the newspaper in the morning. I just have an affection for paper, and that's no secret, I guess.
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
One might think that a boy who was out in the snow for so long would get cold, but Max was not. He was warm, partly because he had on many layers, and partly because boys who are part wolf and part wind do not get cold.
Dave Eggers
Every story we remember is a novel. Novels make things more universal.
Dave Eggers
