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

More quotes by Dave Eggers
Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane.
Dave Eggers
Yes, a dark time passed over this land, but now there is something like light.
Dave Eggers
I'm never a fan of the sociopathic kind of reviewing, people who are sort of self-immolating and have social problems or whatever, and let it out in literary-criticism form. I just feel like book reviewing should be respectful and calm and not filled with bile.
Dave Eggers
Every time my brain parks the car neatly in the driveway, my mouth drives through the back of the garage.
Dave Eggers
My voice and movements are restricted by the things I own.
Dave Eggers
If you think I'm annoying and preachy now, you should have known me in grade school.
Dave Eggers
No one’s forcing you to do this. You willingly tie yourself to these leashes. And you willingly become utterly socially autistic. You no longer pick up on basic human communication clues. You’re at a table with three humans, all of whom are looking at you and trying to talk to you, and you’re staring at a screen, searching for strangers in Dubai.
Dave Eggers
You invite things to happen. You open the door. You inhale. And if you inhale the chaos, you give the chaos, the chaos gives back.
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
Better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than in the middle of some ladder you don’t, right?
Dave Eggers
I have no idea how people function without near-constant internal chaos. I'd lose my mind.
Dave Eggers
Three-dimensional results are important to me. I did once spend some time just writing, and floating around, and I lost my mind a little bit. I wasn't so good at that.
Dave Eggers
She felt some measure of relief knowing that in the very least, on the open road she would have some time to think.
Dave Eggers
There are many Saudi women doctors, and there are many wealthy and powerful and well-educated Saudi women who circumvent the restrictions put upon them, quietly or otherwise.
Dave Eggers
To me any given story has its appropriate form. There might be some story I get involved with that's begging to be a graphic novel, so that will have to be that way.
Dave Eggers
Every story we remember is a novel. Novels make things more universal.
Dave Eggers
All I ever wanted was to know what to do.
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
Why did we do that to Pluto? We had it good with Pluto.
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.
