Morning comes like a scream through a pinhole.
Dave Eggers
Image
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.

No one’s forcing you to do this. You willingly tie yourself to these leashes. And you willingly become utterly socially autistic. You no longer pick up on basic human communication clues.

There is no faith like the faith of a builder of homes in coastal Louisiana
Dave Eggers
Image
But I'm thinking about 12 things at once, a hundred thousand times a day. Most people do, I would imagine.
Dave Eggers
Image
But everyone disappears, no matter who loves them.
Dave Eggers

Be strong, be brave, be true. Endure.
Dave Eggers
Image
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
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

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.
