I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know.
Bill Watterson
You can make your superhero a psychopath, you can draw gut-splattering violence, and you can call it a graphic novel, but comic books are still incredibly stupid.
Bill Watterson
We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.

Calvin: Trick or treat! Adult: Where's your costume? What are you supposed to be?

Am I scary, or what?
Bill Watterson
Calvin: Sometimes when I'm talking, my words can't keep up with my thoughts. I wonder why we can think faster than we speak? Hobbes: Probably so we can think twice.
Bill Watterson
I wish people were more like animals. Animals don't try to change you or make you fit in. They just enjoy the pleasure of your company. Animals aren't conditional about friendships. Animals like you just the way you are. They listen to your problems, they comfort you when you're sad, and all they ask in return is a little kindness.
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
