More quotes by Dave Eggers
Why do we pursue information that we know will never leave our heads?
Dave Eggers
I think there's a future where the Web and print coexist and they each do things uniquely and complement each other, and we have what could be the ultimate and best-yet array of journalistic venues.
Dave Eggers
Once a year, she remembers that she is insignificant. Then she forgets agains, because more than she is insignificant, she is forgetful.
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
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
He wanted to fly in lightweight contraptions with her.
Dave Eggers
If you think I'm annoying and preachy now, you should have known me in grade school.
Dave Eggers
I worked at magazines for over 10 years before I even thought of writing a book.
Dave Eggers
The key thing is, even if you only have a couple of hours a month, those two hours shoulder-to-shoulder, next to one student, concentrated attention, shining this beam of light on their work, on their thoughts and their self-expression, is going to be absolutely transformative, because so many of the students have not had that ever before.
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
Humans are divided between those who can still look through the eyes of youth and those who cannot.
Dave Eggers
Good artists exist in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are.
Dave Eggers
We lose weeks like buttons, like pencils.
Dave Eggers
High school teachers who want to get reluctant readers turned around need to give the students some say in the reading list. Make it collaborative: The students will feel ownership, and everyone will dig in.
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
Maybe he was more than the sum of his broken parts.
Dave Eggers
The only infallible truth of our lives is that everything we love in life will be taken from us.
Dave Eggers
I still get my news from the newspaper in the morning. I just have an affection for paper, and that's no secret, I guess.
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
Every story we remember is a novel. Novels make things more universal.
Dave Eggers
