Writing is a deep-sea dive. You need hours just to get into it: down, down, down. If you're called back to the surface every couple of minutes by an email, you can't ever get back down. I have a great friend who became a Twitterer and he says he hasn't written anything for a year.

He was feeling buoyant, flexible. He wanted to go jogging. He stood. He couldn't go jogging. He called room service and ordered a basket of breads and pastries.

I publish my own books, so there isn't a certain editor I owe the book to at a publishing house.
Dave Eggers
Image
Yes, a dark time passed over this land, but now there is something like light.
Dave Eggers
Image
Again the greatest use of a human was to be useful. Not to consume, not to watch, but to do something for someone else that improved their life, even for a few minutes.
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.
Dave Eggers
Image
I have no idea how people function without near-constant internal chaos. I'd lose my mind.

The only infallible truth of our lives is that everything we love in life will be taken from us.
Dave Eggers
Image
It is no way to live, to wait to love.
Dave Eggers
Image
We lose weeks like buttons, like pencils.
Dave Eggers
Image
I love to be surprised or challenged or told that I know less than I thought that I knew. I know it's an old saw, but the older I get the less I know I know.
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

Dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning French or collecting scarves.
Dave Eggers
Image
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
Image
Why shouldn’t your curiosity about the world be rewarded?
Dave Eggers
Image
I'm better than you think. I'm even better than I think I am.
Dave Eggers

And there is a chance that everything we did was incorrect, but stasis is itself criminal for those with the means to move, and the means to weave communion between people.
