When we pass by another person without telling them we love them it’s cruel and wrong and we all know this.

When I'm doing work online or on the computer, it's one thing. When I want to read, I want to go elsewhere, and I want to be away from the screen.

A funny thing happened on the way to utopia: We've turned into this surveillance society and become a race of spies, where we track our kids and we track our spouses and we track our friends.

It all meant something. Until it didn't.

Image
I met a lot of great people in Saudi Arabia and I'd like to see them again. And I'd love to spend more time in the desert and in the mountains. I felt really at home there.
Dave Eggers
Image
I went to public school all my life and all through college and I liked it.
Dave Eggers
Image
We would oppose the turning of the planet and refuse the setting of the sun.
Dave Eggers
Image
Dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning French or collecting scarves.
Dave Eggers
Image
But that's one lifetime. Yeah. But while doing that one I'd want to be able to have done other stuff. Whole other lives- the one where I sail- I know, on a boat you made yourself.
Dave Eggers
Image
A combination of acting, lying, begging, and cheating.

Image
But everyone disappears, no matter who loves them.
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.

I often cannot believe the things I do.
