I like maxims that don't encourage behavior modification.
Bill Watterson
Image
Even when you look for it, you're never prepared for it.
Bill Watterson
Image
I'd like to see cartoonists measuring their work by higher standards than how many papers their strips are in and how much money they make.
Bill Watterson
Image
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
Image
Obviously the great thing about this job is the complete freedom of the schedule. So long as I meet the deadline, they don't care when I work or how I work.
Bill Watterson
Image
Isn't it sad how some people's grip on their lives is so precarious that they'll embrace any preposterous delusion rather than face an occasional bleak truth?

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.

So long, Pop! I'm off to check my tiger trap!

Talking with you is sort of the conversational equivalent of an out of body experience.
Bill Watterson
Image
The strips I admire go farther than a gag a day, and take us into a special world.
Bill Watterson
Image
At school, new ideas are thrust at you every day. Out in the world, you'll have to find your inner motivation to seek for new ideas on your own.
Bill Watterson
Image
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.

Image
If you can't win by reason, go for volume.

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.

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.
