Dave Eggers

"Everyone in the life before was cranky, I think, because they just wanted to know.--After I Was Thrown in the River and Before I Drowned"

"Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this."

"We are unusual and tragic and alive."

"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?"
