More quotes by Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers
Paper is a uniquely beautiful format, more so than the web, I think: you need to invest in the aesthetics.
Dave Eggers
I publish my own books, so there isn't a certain editor I owe the book to at a publishing house.
Dave Eggers
Why do we pursue information that we know will never leave our heads?
Dave Eggers
If you think I'm annoying and preachy now, you should have known me in grade school.
Dave Eggers
I had forgotten that, and so many things. How could I put everything down on paper? It seemed impossible. No matter what, the majority of life would be left out of this story, this sliver of a version of the life I'd known. But I tried anyway.
Dave Eggers
It is no way to live, to wait to love.
Dave Eggers
