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

The only infallible truth of our lives is that everything we love in life will be taken from us.
Dave Eggers

But Saudi Arabia is surprising in a lot of ways. Like any place, or any people, it relentlessly defies easy categorization.
Dave Eggers
Image
But I'm thinking about 12 things at once, a hundred thousand times a day. Most people do, I would imagine.
Dave Eggers
Image
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
Image
Still though, I think if you're not self-obsessed, you're probably boring.
Dave Eggers
Image
Why do we pursue information that we know will never leave our heads?
Dave Eggers
Image
Through the small tall bathroom window the December yard is gray and scratchy, the tree calligraphic.
Dave Eggers
Image
We lose weeks like buttons, like pencils.
Dave Eggers
Image
Yes, a dark time passed over this land, but now there is something like light.
Dave Eggers
Image
We feel that to reveal embarrassing or private things, we have given someone something, that, like a primitive person fearing that a photographer will steal his soul, we identify our secrets, our past and their blotches, with our identity, that revealing our habits or losses or deeds somehow makes one less of oneself.
