Reading those turgid philosophers here in these remote stone buildings may not get you a job, but if those books have forced you to ask yourself questions about what makes life truthful, purposeful, meaningful, and redeeming, you have the Swiss Army Knife of mental tools, and it's going to come in handy all the time.

Life is full of surprises, but never when you need one.
Bill Watterson
Everybody I know fails the acid test of friendship.
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
I'm learning skills I will use for the rest of my life by doing homework...procrastinating and negotiation.
Bill Watterson
Animation, by necessity, is a team sport, and the fewer people with input into my work, the better I like it.
Bill Watterson
I guess I just don't have the killer instinct that I think makes a great political cartoonist.
Bill Watterson
Who was the guy who first looked at a cow and said 'I think I’ll drink whatever comes out of these when I squeeze ’em?
Bill Watterson
Calvin: Dad where do babies come from? Dad: Well Calvin, you simply go to Sears, buy the kit and follow the assembly instructions. Calvin: I came from Sears? Dad: No you were a blue-light special at K-Mart - almost as good and a lot cheaper!
Bill Watterson
What I try to do in writing any character is to put myself in his position.
Bill Watterson
What state do you live in? Denial.

Obviously the role of comics is changing very fast. On the one hand, comics are widely accepted and taken seriously. On the other hand, the mass media is disintegrating, and audiences are atomizing. I suspect comics will have less widespread cultural impact and make a lot less money.
