More quotes by Dave Eggers
If you think I'm annoying and preachy now, you should have known me in grade school.
Dave Eggers
I grew up north of Chicago, not far from where the Schwinn bicycle plant used to be, and was conscious of the fact that these beautiful, everlasting bikes were made just down the road.
Dave Eggers
I went to public school all my life and all through college and I liked it.
Dave Eggers
Through the small tall bathroom window the December yard is gray and scratchy, the tree calligraphic.
Dave Eggers
Three-dimensional results are important to me. I did once spend some time just writing, and floating around, and I lost my mind a little bit. I wasn't so good at that.
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
Why shouldn’t your curiosity about the world be rewarded?
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
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
You invite things to happen. You open the door. You inhale. And if you inhale the chaos, you give the chaos, the chaos gives back.
Dave Eggers
You know, it's been proven that 35 to 40 hours a year with one-on-one attention, a student can get one grade level higher
Dave Eggers
The only infallible truth of our lives is that everything we love in life will be taken from us.
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 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
I am a bike enthusiast there's a certain amount of romance to bikes. They're both beautiful and utilitarian.
Dave Eggers
Here I am Rock You Like a Hurricane.
Dave Eggers
And there is a chance that everything we did was incorrect, but stasis is itself criminal for those with the means to move, and the means to weave communion between people.
Dave Eggers
Every story we remember is a novel. Novels make things more universal.
Dave Eggers
Morning comes like a scream through a pinhole.
Dave Eggers
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.
Dave Eggers
