More quotes by 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
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
Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane.
Dave Eggers
Why did we do that to Pluto? We had it good with Pluto.
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
There is travel and there are babies everything else is drudgery and death.
Dave Eggers
But I'm thinking about 12 things at once, a hundred thousand times a day. Most people do, I would imagine.
Dave Eggers
I publish my own books, so there isn't a certain editor I owe the book to at a publishing house.
Dave Eggers
I'm better than you think. I'm even better than I think I am.
Dave Eggers
I am a bike enthusiast there's a certain amount of romance to bikes. They're both beautiful and utilitarian.
Dave Eggers
I worked at Salon.com way back when they started, and there's just unmeasurable value to distributing words online, too, but I still get my news from the newspaper in the morning.
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
Be strong, be brave, be true. Endure.
Dave Eggers
When anybody starts out with a memoir, you get the impulse to tell your own story with your own voice, and you get all that out in one fell swoop sometimes.
Dave Eggers
Yes, a dark time passed over this land, but now there is something like light.
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
You know, it's been proven that 35 to 40 hours a year with one-on-one attention, a student can get one grade level higher
Dave Eggers
Three-dimensional results are important to me. I did once spend some time just writing, and floating around, and I lost my mind a little bit. I wasn't so good at that.
Dave Eggers
People are strange, but more than that, they're good. They're good first, then strange.
Dave Eggers
Most people would trade everything they know, everyone they know- they'd trade it all to know they've been seen, and acknowledged, that they might even be remembered. We all know we die. We all know the world is too big for us to be significant. So all we have is the hope of being seen, or heard, even for a moment.
Dave Eggers
