More quotes by Dave Eggers
There is travel and there are babies everything else is drudgery and death.
Dave Eggers
But Saudi Arabia is surprising in a lot of ways. Like any place, or any people, it relentlessly defies easy categorization.
Dave Eggers
Writing is a deep-sea dive. You need hours just to get into it: down, down, down. If you're called back to the surface every couple of minutes by an email, you can't ever get back down. I have a great friend who became a Twitterer and he says he hasn't written anything for a year.
Dave Eggers
Every story we remember is a novel. Novels make things more universal.
Dave Eggers
I think almost every writer in the world would hope that books would be always talked about with respect and civility and depth and seriousness.
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
There is no faith like the faith of a builder of homes in coastal Louisiana
Dave Eggers
I'm better than you think. I'm even better than I think I am.
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
The house is a factory.
Dave Eggers
There's nothing to be gained from passive observance, the simple documenting of conditions, because, at its core, it sets a bad example. Every time something is observed and not fixed, or when one has a chance to give in some way and does not, there is a lie being told, the same lie we all know by heart but which needn't be reiterated.
Dave Eggers
The air is like being wanted, we say, and they nod approvingly. The air is like getting older, they say, and they touch our arms gently.
Dave Eggers
We would oppose the turning of the planet and refuse the setting of the sun.
Dave Eggers
I see colors like you hear jet planes.
Dave Eggers
It all meant something. Until it didn't.
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
I often cannot believe the things I do.
Dave Eggers
Why do we pursue information that we know will never leave our heads?
Dave Eggers
But I'm thinking about 12 things at once, a hundred thousand times a day. Most people do, I would imagine.
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.
