More quotes by 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
When anybody starts out with a memoir, you get the impulse to tell your own story with your own voice, and you get all that out in one fell swoop sometimes.
Dave Eggers
If you think I'm annoying and preachy now, you should have known me in grade school.
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
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
We have advantages. We have a cushion to fall back on. This is abundance. A luxury of place and time. Something rare and wonderful. It's almost historically unprecedented. We must do extraordinary things. We have to. It would be absurd not to.
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
There is travel and there are babies everything else is drudgery and death.
Dave Eggers
Every time my brain parks the car neatly in the driveway, my mouth drives through the back of the garage.
Dave Eggers
Loneliness is just a thing that I'm not personally interested in. So far, it hasn't been on my docket of things to write about.
Dave Eggers
You can't ever guess at life, at pain. All pain is real, and all pain is personal. It's the most personal thing we have. It eats each of us differently.
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 lose weeks like buttons, like pencils.
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 worked at Salon.com way back when they started, and there's just unmeasurable value to distributing words online, too, but I still get my news from the newspaper in the morning.
Dave Eggers
I've purposely stayed away from reading much about postmodern theory, and most everything I have read just bored me to tears. I don't think anybody's written about it, or very few have, with any verve.
Dave Eggers
Still though, I think if you're not self-obsessed, you're probably boring.
Dave Eggers
People are strange, but more than that, they're good. They're good first, then strange.
Dave Eggers
I'm better than you think. I'm even better than I think I am.
Dave Eggers
