I won't eat any cereal that doesn't turn the milk purple.
Bill Watterson
Calvin: Trick or treat! Adult: Where's your costume? What are you supposed to be? Calvin: I'm yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet, raised to an alarming extent by Madison Avenue and Hollywood, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak... Am I scary, or what?
Bill Watterson
In the short term, it would make me happy to go play outside. In the long term, it would make me happier to do well at school and become successful. But in the VERY long term, I know which will make better memories.
Bill Watterson
My likely historical significance is a terrible burden. ~ Calvin
Bill Watterson
I'm willing to take the blame if the strip goes down the drain, and I want the credit if it succeeds. So long as it has my name on it, I want it to be mine.
Bill Watterson
When birds burp, it must taste like bugs.
Bill Watterson

So, what's it like in the real world? Well, the food is better, but beyond that, I don't recommend it.
Bill Watterson
Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change. But pretty soon, everything's different.
Bill Watterson
Every artist learns through imitation, but I rather doubt the aim of these things is artistic development. I assume they're either homages or satiric riffs, and are not intended to be taken too seriously as works in their own right. Otherwise I should be talking to a copyright lawyer.
Bill Watterson
It's only work if somebody makes you do it.
Bill Watterson
Until you stalk and overrun, you cannot devour anyone. -Hobbes
Bill Watterson
I say if a novelty Christmas song is funny one time, then it is funny every time. - Calvin
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
Talking with you is sort of the conversational equivalent of an out of body experience.
Bill Watterson
I'm a man of few words. If you read more, you might have a larger vocabulary.
Bill Watterson
Girls are like slugs - they probably serve some purpose, but it's hard to imagine what.
Bill Watterson
We all have different desires and needs, but if we don't discover what we want from ourselves and what we stand for, we will live passively and unfulfilled.
Bill Watterson
Selling out is usually more a matter of buying in. Sell out, and you’re really buying into someone else’s system of values, rules and rewards.
Bill Watterson
For me, it's been liberating to put myself in the mind of a fictitious six year-old each day, and rediscover my own curiosity. I've been amazed at how one idea leads to others if I allow my mind to play and wander.
