"I believe in fact, and I believe in the plain truth told wholly — that the truth retold can be a net thrown around life at a certain time and place, encompassing all within, and that people can go out there, live as actors, work within their staging ground, do so with a soft heart; I want others to go in the world with an idea, with intentions and means, and come back with a story about how their actions affected the world and how they themselves were shaped by the results."

- David Eggers, You Shall Know Our Velocity
