Dave Eggers
When we pass by another person without telling them we love them it’s cruel and wrong and we all know this.
Dave Eggers
He must trust, and he must have faith. And so he builds, because what is building, and rebuilding and rebuilding again, but an act of faith?
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
Once a year, she remembers that she is insignificant. Then she forgets agains, because more than she is insignificant, she is forgetful.
Dave Eggers
Why did we do that to Pluto? We had it good with Pluto.
Dave Eggers
I publish my own books, so there isn't a certain editor I owe the book to at a publishing house.
