Dave Eggers Zitate und Sprüche

„Wieder erschien eine Farbexplosion auf dem Bildschirm, der die Taetigkeiten von Annies Gehirn ueberwachte. Mae streckte die Hand aus und beruerhte Annies Stirn und staunte ueber die Distanz, die diese Haut, dieser Knochen zwischen ihnen herstellte. Was ging in ihrem Kopf vor? Es war wirklich zum Verzweifeln, dachte Mae, dieses Nichtwissen. Es war ein Affront, ein Entzug, ihr gegenueber und der Welt gegenueber. Sie wuerde bei Stenton und Bailey und bei der Vierzigerbande zur Sprache bringen, bei naechster Gelegenheit. Sie mussten dringend ueber Annie reden, ueber die Gedanken, die sie dachte. Wieso sollten sie die nicht wissen?“

Dave Eggers

„Die Lage ist kritisch, und du bist in der einzigartigen Position, Einfluss auf sehr bedeutsame historische Ereignisse zu nehmen. Der Moment ist da. Der Moment, an dem geschichtliche Weichen gestellt werden. Stell dir vor, du hättest etwas tun können, ehe Hitler Kanzler wurde. Ehe Stalin Osteuropa annektierte. Wir sind drauf und dran, ein weiteres sehr hungriges, sehr böses Reich zu erschaffen, Mae. Verstehst du das?“

Dave Eggers

“You and yours at the Circle, you're gonna save all the souls. You're gonna get everyone in one place, you're gonna teach them all the same things. There can only be one morality, one set of rules. Imagine! Now all humans will have the eyes of God. You know this passage? 'All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of God.' Something like that. You know your Bible? Now we're all God. Every one of us will soon be able to see, and cast judgment upon, every other. We'll see what He sees. We'll articulate His judgment. We'll channel His wrath and deliver His forgiveness. On a constant and global level. All religion has been waiting for this, when every human is a direct and immediate messenger of God's will. Do you see what I'm saying?”
