QOTW: Dave Eggers
Well said.
“Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying:
Let’s not forget this.”
Quote of the Week
It’s hard not to love Dave Eggers. He’s for the things I’m for (independent publishing, supporting young writers, peace). He’s against the things I’m against (banning books).
This quote hit me in the feels this week because I’m terrified that we are forgetting things. I thought we promised to Never Forget.
