4 Quotes by Dave Eggers about death


  • Author Dave Eggers
  • Quote

    You will die, and when you die, you will know a profound lack of it [dignity]. It's never dignified, always brutal. What's dignified about dying? It's never dignified. And in obscurity? Offensive. Dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning French or collecting scarves. And it's fleeting and incredibly mercurial. And subjective. So fuck it.

    See, just those words indicate no respect for human life. An incident ends a human life? No, that's an apocalypse. The death of a young person for no reason is an apocalypse. It's not an incident. You understand that?
