Morning comes like a scream through a pinhole.
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
To me, the print business model is so simple, where readers pay a dollar for all the content within, and that supports the enterprise. The web model is just so much more complicated, and involves this third party of advertisers, and all these other sources of revenue that are sort of provisional, but haven't been proven yet.
Dave Eggers
Better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than in the middle of some ladder you don’t, right?
Dave Eggers
But of course there's no logic to San Francisco generally, a city built with putty and pipe cleaners, rubber cement and colored construction paper. It's the work of fairies, elves, happy children with new crayons
Dave Eggers

Dave Eggers

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
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
Why did we do that to Pluto? We had it good with Pluto.
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
Every story we remember is a novel. Novels make things more universal.
Dave Eggers
If you think I'm annoying and preachy now, you should have known me in grade school.
Dave Eggers
I see colors like you hear jet planes.
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
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
I often cannot believe the things I do.
Dave Eggers
