More quotes by Dave Eggers
Through the small tall bathroom window the December yard is gray and scratchy, the tree calligraphic.
Dave Eggers
Why shouldn’t your curiosity about the world be rewarded?
Dave Eggers
I can remember exactly where I sat when my teacher first read Roald Dahl's 'James and the Giant Peach'.
Dave Eggers
I grew up north of Chicago, not far from where the Schwinn bicycle plant used to be, and was conscious of the fact that these beautiful, everlasting bikes were made just down the road.
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
My voice and movements are restricted by the things I own.
Dave Eggers
It is no way to live, to wait to love.
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
One might think that a boy who was out in the snow for so long would get cold, but Max was not. He was warm, partly because he had on many layers, and partly because boys who are part wolf and part wind do not get cold.
Dave Eggers
I am a bike enthusiast there's a certain amount of romance to bikes. They're both beautiful and utilitarian.
Dave Eggers
I see colors like you hear jet planes.
Dave Eggers
All I ever wanted was to know what to do.
Dave Eggers
But of course there's no logic to San Francisco generally, a city built with putty and pipe cleaners, rubber cement and colored construction paper. It's the work of fairies, elves, happy children with new crayons
Dave Eggers
Why do we pursue information that we know will never leave our heads?
Dave Eggers
I had the sensation that I might always be running like this, that I would always have to run, and that I would always be able to run.
Dave Eggers
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
The weird thing is that working within an established story was actually kind of liberating. You know the beginning and middle and end, more or less, so there's less pressure to figure all that out.
Dave Eggers
I had grown up as a fan of Studs Terkel. In Chicago he sort of looms large and is mentioned often.
Dave Eggers
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
When we pass by another person without telling them we love them it’s cruel and wrong and we all know this.
Dave Eggers
