Bill Watterson
I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night.
Bill Watterson
I like maxims that don't encourage behavior modification.
Bill Watterson
I think of football as a sport the way ducks think of hunting as a sport.
Bill Watterson
Yeah, but actually, I've got the same questions about God.
Bill Watterson
When the cartoonist is trying to talk honestly and seriously about life, then I believe he has a responsibility to think beyond satisfying the market's every whim and desire.
Bill Watterson
Of course, REAL zombies never get the giggles when they look at each other.
Bill Watterson
The more words you have at your disposal, the more precisely you can express yourself.
Bill Watterson
Rainy days should be spent at home with a cup of tea and a good book.
Bill Watterson
I liked things better when I didn't understand them.
Bill Watterson
I'm killing time while I wait for life to shower me with meaning and happiness.
