More quotes by Dave Eggers
People are strange, but more than that, they're good. They're good first, then strange.
Dave Eggers
I worked at magazines for over 10 years before I even thought of writing a book.
Dave Eggers
The only infallible truth of our lives is that everything we love in life will be taken from us.
Dave Eggers
You know, it's been proven that 35 to 40 hours a year with one-on-one attention, a student can get one grade level higher
Dave Eggers
When I was on the bestseller list with the first book, everyone who knows me knows that every week it continued to be on the list was a very dark week for me. Everyone knows that all I wanted was to be off that list.
Dave Eggers
I love to be surprised or challenged or told that I know less than I thought that I knew. I know it's an old saw, but the older I get the less I know I know.
Dave Eggers
I often cannot believe the things I do.
Dave Eggers
Again the greatest use of a human was to be useful. Not to consume, not to watch, but to do something for someone else that improved their life, even for a few minutes.
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
You know how you finish a bag of chips and you hate yourself? You know you’ve done nothing good for yourself. That’s the same feeling, and you know it is, after some digital binge. You feel wasted and hollow and diminished.
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
Most people would trade everything they know, everyone they know- they'd trade it all to know they've been seen, and acknowledged, that they might even be remembered. We all know we die. We all know the world is too big for us to be significant. So all we have is the hope of being seen, or heard, even for a moment.
Dave Eggers
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
I'm better than you think. I'm even better than I think I am.
Dave Eggers
I see colors like you hear jet planes.
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
If you think I'm annoying and preachy now, you should have known me in grade school.
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
He must trust, and he must have faith. And so he builds, because what is building, and rebuilding and rebuilding again, but an act of faith?
Dave Eggers
A combination of acting, lying, begging, and cheating.
Dave Eggers
