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.

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.

The only infallible truth of our lives is that everything we love in life will be taken from us.
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.
Dave Eggers
Image
I went to public school all my life and all through college and I liked it.
Dave Eggers
Image
When anybody starts out with a memoir, you get the impulse to tell your own story with your own voice, and you get all that out in one fell swoop sometimes.
Dave Eggers
Image
But Saudi Arabia is surprising in a lot of ways. Like any place, or any people, it relentlessly defies easy categorization.
Dave Eggers
Image
Humans are divided between those who can still look through the eyes of youth and those who cannot.
Dave Eggers
Image
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
Image
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
Image
In hospitals I feel palpable comfort. I feel the competence, the expertise, so much education and money, all of the supplies sterile, everything packaged, sealed tight. My fears evaporate when the automatic doors shush open.
