More quotes by Bill Watterson
For your information, I'm staying like this, and everyone else can just get used to it! If people don't like me the way I am, well TOUGH BEANS! It's a free country! I don't need anyone's permission to be the way I want! This is who I am - Take it or leave it!
Bill Watterson
The more words you have at your disposal, the more precisely you can express yourself.
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
Instead of asking what's wrong with rampant consumerism, we ought to be asking, 'What justifies it?' Popular art does not have to pander to the lowest level of intelligence and taste.
Bill Watterson
Having an enviable career is one thing. Being a happy person is another
Bill Watterson
Too often cartoonists just look at other cartoonists and, after a lot of inbreeding, everyone has the same funny look. The challenge of drawing is that there is no one right way to visually describe something. It's a good thing to confront your limitations and preconceptions every so often.
Bill Watterson
I still read newspaper comics, but without much hope for their future.
Bill Watterson
I'd hate to have a kid like me.
Bill Watterson
The secret to enjoying your job is to have a hobby that's even worse
Bill Watterson
They say the secret of success is being at the right place at the right time, but since you never know when the right time is going to be, I figure the trick is to find the right place and just hang around.
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.
