Bill Watterson
I think hiccup cures were really invented for the amusement of the patient's friends.
Bill Watterson
In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive.
Bill Watterson
Life is like topography, Hobbes. There are summits of happiness and success, flat stretches of boring routine and valleys of frustration and failure.
Bill Watterson

I'm a 21st-century kid trapped in a 19th-century family.
Bill Watterson
I try to make everyone's day a little more surreal.
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
Everybody I know fails the acid test of friendship.
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
But for my own example, I'd never believe one little kid could have so much brains!
