More quotes by 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
Well, my background is journalism. I don't have any creative-writing experience except for one class I took as a sophomore in college.
Dave Eggers
All I ever wanted was to know what to do.
Dave Eggers
I think there's a future where the Web and print coexist and they each do things uniquely and complement each other, and we have what could be the ultimate and best-yet array of journalistic venues.
Dave Eggers
There is travel and there are babies everything else is drudgery and death.
Dave Eggers
Why do we pursue information that we know will never leave our heads?
Dave Eggers
A funny thing happened on the way to utopia: We've turned into this surveillance society and become a race of spies, where we track our kids and we track our spouses and we track our friends.

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.
Dave Eggers
I went to Saudi Arabia in 2010, and spent most of my time in Jeddah and the King Abdullah Economic City.
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
I worked at magazines for over 10 years before I even thought of writing a book.
Dave Eggers
We lose weeks like buttons, like pencils.
Dave Eggers
I went to public school all my life and all through college and I liked it.
Dave Eggers
I often cannot believe the things I do.
Dave Eggers
There's nothing to be gained from passive observance, the simple documenting of conditions, because, at its core, it sets a bad example. Every time something is observed and not fixed, or when one has a chance to give in some way and does not, there is a lie being told, the same lie we all know by heart but which needn't be reiterated.
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
Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane.
Dave Eggers
Why do you want to be on The Real World? Because I want everyone to witness my youth. Why? Isn't it gorgeous?
Dave Eggers
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.
Dave Eggers
We would oppose the turning of the planet and refuse the setting of the sun.
