Still though, I think if you're not self-obsessed, you're probably boring.
Dave Eggers
Once a year, she remembers that she is insignificant. Then she forgets agains, because more than she is insignificant, she is forgetful.
Dave Eggers
You invite things to happen. You open the door. You inhale. And if you inhale the chaos, you give the chaos, the chaos gives back.
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
We lose weeks like buttons, like pencils.
Dave Eggers
There is travel and there are babies everything else is drudgery and death.
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
You know how you finish a bag of chips and you hate yourself? You know you’ve done nothing good for yourself. That’s the same feeling, and you know it is, after some digital binge. You feel wasted and hollow and diminished.
Dave Eggers
Dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning French or collecting scarves.
Dave Eggers
So this is the space during tutoring hours. It's very busy. Same principles: one-on-one attention, complete devotion to the students' work and a boundless optimism and sort of a possibility of creativity and ideas.
Dave Eggers
Paper is a uniquely beautiful format, more so than the web, I think: you need to invest in the aesthetics.
Dave Eggers
People are strange, but more than that, they're good. They're good first, then strange.
Dave Eggers
It all meant something. Until it didn't.
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
Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane.
Dave Eggers
To me, the print business model is so simple, where readers pay a dollar for all the content within, and that supports the enterprise. The web model is just so much more complicated, and involves this third party of advertisers, and all these other sources of revenue that are sort of provisional, but haven't been proven yet.
Dave Eggers
Every story we remember is a novel. Novels make things more universal.
Dave Eggers
The key thing is, even if you only have a couple of hours a month, those two hours shoulder-to-shoulder, next to one student, concentrated attention, shining this beam of light on their work, on their thoughts and their self-expression, is going to be absolutely transformative, because so many of the students have not had that ever before.
Dave Eggers
I met a lot of great people in Saudi Arabia and I'd like to see them again. And I'd love to spend more time in the desert and in the mountains. I felt really at home there.
Dave Eggers
You can't ever guess at life, at pain. All pain is real, and all pain is personal. It's the most personal thing we have. It eats each of us differently.
Dave Eggers
