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

Dave Eggers
I have no idea how people function without near-constant internal chaos. I'd lose my mind.
Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers
