So I should be aware of the dangers of self-consciousness, but at the same time, Iโll be plowing through the fog of all these echoes, plowing through mixed metaphors, noise, and will try to show the core, which is still there, as a core, and is valid, despite the fog. The core is the core is the core. There is always the core, that canโt be articulated. Only caricatured.
Dave EggersWe've become a nation of indoor cats, he'd said. A nation of doubters, worriers, overthinkers. Thank God these weren't the kind of Americans who settled this country. They were a different breed! They crossed the country in wagons with wooden wheels! People croaked along the way, and they barely stopped. Back then, you buried your dead and kept moving.
Dave EggersIf 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.
Dave EggersTo 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.
Dave EggersThe voice of the nickly reflection of the moon was not as deep as you might expect. It was a singerโs voice, though, a tenor, one that loved itself without reservation. โI feel time like you dream. Your dreams are jumbled. You canโt remember the order of your dreams, and when you recall them, the memories bend. Faces change. Itโs all in puddles and ripples. Thatโs what time is for me.
