Quote

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.

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
Image
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.

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. I think very soon there will be an obsolescence of trust, because it's much easier to access a person's location than it is to ask - or to trust.

Good artists exist in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are.

But I'm thinking about 12 things at once, a hundred thousand times a day. Most people do, I would imagine.

All I ever wanted was to know what to do.

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.

It was always difficult to get cattle returned once a marriage was dissolved.

Image
I had the sensation that I might always be running like this, that I would always have to run, and that I would always be able to run.

Every story we remember is a novel. Novels make things more universal.

Better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than in the middle of some ladder you don’t, right?

I publish my own books, so there isn't a certain editor I owe the book to at a publishing house.

Image
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.

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.

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
Image
Most people would trade everything they know, everyone they know- they'd trade it all to know they've been seen, and acknowledged, that they might even be remembered. We all know we die. We all know the world is too big for us to be significant. So all we have is the hope of being seen, or heard, even for a moment.
