Dave Eggers Quotes

I was feeling everything too much. Everything pulled at my eyes. I spent hours floating in pools Picture Quote #1

I will not wait to love as best as I can. We thought we were young and that there would be time to love well sometime in the future. This is a terrible way to think. It is no way to live, to wait to love Picture Quote #1

The only infallible truth of our lives is that everything we love in life will be taken from us Picture Quote #1

If you think I’m annoying and preachy now, you should have known me in grade school Picture Quote #1

I hung up the phone, jubilant, and threw myself into a wall, then pretended to be getting electrocuted. I do this when I’m very happy Picture Quote #1

At that moment I was sure. That I belonged in my skin. That my organs were mine and my eyes were mine and my ears, which could only hear the silence of this night and my faint breathing, were mine, and I loved them and what they could do Picture Quote #1

You have what I can afford to give. You are a panhandler, begging for anything, and I am the man walking briskly by, tossing a quarter or so into your paper cup. I can afford to give you this. This does not break me Picture Quote #1

If you don’t want anyone to know about your existence, you might as well kill yourself. You’re taking up space, air Picture Quote #1

My head was a condemned church with a ceiling of bats, but I swung from this dark mood to euphoria when I thought about leaving Picture Quote #1

In hospitals I feel palpable comfort. I feel the competence, the expertise, so much education and money, all of the supplies sterile, everything packaged, sealed tight. My fears evaporate when the automatic doors shush open Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

Good artists exist in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are Picture Quote #1

Pain comes at me and I take it, chew it for a few minutes, and spit it back out. It’s just not my thing anymore Picture Quote #1

If your hand doesn’t work for it, your heart doesn’t feel sorry for it Picture Quote #1

No. There is no balance, and no retribution, and no rules. The rules and balances you blather about are hopeful creations of a man fearing death Picture Quote #1

The raising of a child is the building of a cathedral. You can’t cut corners Picture Quote #1

Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this Picture Quote #1

Better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than in the middle of some ladder you don’t, right? Picture Quote #1

You know how you finish a bag of chips and you hate yourself? You know you’ve done nothing good for yourself. That’s the same feeling, and you know it is, after some digital binge. You feel wasted and hollow and diminished Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The only thing that everyone needs to look out for is keeping the students reading through high school and thereafter Picture Quote #1

We have no choice. We need the communion of souls and only here are they awake Picture Quote #1

Every time my brain parks the car neatly in the driveway, my mouth drives through the back of the garage Picture Quote #1

He was feeling buoyant, flexible. He wanted to go jogging. He stood. He couldn’t go jogging. He called room service and ordered a basket of breads and pastries Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Also, I need deadlines, just like everybody else, especially coming from magazines, newspapers, and stuff like that. I need daily or weekly deadlines to get stuff done, or I continue to do things and not go off on a year of unproductivity Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If you want to write about people, you can make it up. But if you spend time talking to someone and examining what it is you want to write about, you discover a level of detail that you wouldn’t have noticed otherwise Picture Quote #1

The weird thing is that working within an established story was actually kind of liberating. You know the beginning and middle and end, more or less, so there’s less pressure to figure all that out Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
