Letter "D" » Dave Eggers Quotes
«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.»
Author: Dave Eggers
«It's not that our family has no taste, it's just that our family's taste is inconsistent.»
Author: Dave Eggers
«Through the small tall bathroom window the December yard is gray and scratchy, the tree calligraphic.»

«Our town was rigid in many ways, in terms of the uniformity of things, the colors of skin, the makes of cars, the lushness of the lawns, but on top of that it was sort of a blank canvas so-and again, I guess this is true of any child-I was ready to quickly accept the sudden and total substitutions of all I knew to be true.»
Author: Dave Eggers

Author: Dave Eggers
«People are strange, but more than that, they're good. They're good first, then strange.»
Author: Dave Eggers
«I am myself a failed cartoonist, There are a million reasons to ruin things.»
Author: Dave Eggers
«I don't think there's a neighborhood where more writers live. There is no neighborhood in the world - and I've looked - with more independent bookstores in such a small area.»
Author: Dave Eggers
«[After this interview Eggers is off to a meeting in midtown Manhattan. Then come more appointments and the following day a long drive to Pittsfield, Mass., where he will work a fund-raiser for Word Street, a tutoring center inspired by 826 NYC. His black travel bag sits at my feet like a dog begging to go for a walk.] I'm trying to cut down on travel, ... But with things like this, I really don't want to say no.»
