Dave Eggers quote ✍️

Quote

Hand, nobody told me about the weight. Why didn't our parents tell us about the weight? — What weight? — The fucking weight, Hand. How does the woman Ingres live? The one from Marrakesh? If we're vessels, and we are, then we, you and I, are overfull, and that means she's at the bottom of a deep cold lake. How can she stand the hissing of all that water? — We are not vessels; we are missiles. — We're static and we're empty. We are overfull and leaden. — We are airtight and we are missiles and all-powerful.
