More quotes by Bill Watterson
We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.
Bill Watterson
I was reading about how countless species are being pushed toward extinction by man's destruction of forests. . . . Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
Bill Watterson
If people looked at the stars each night, they'd live a lot differently. When you look into infinity, you realize that there are more important things than what people do all day.
Bill Watterson
I've never sat down to quantify how many hours I actually spend on the strip. I use the deadlines to estimate my progress each month I know that I have to produce so many strips, and by the end of the month I'll make sure that I have.
Bill Watterson
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.

Bill Watterson
Having an enviable career is one thing. Being a happy person is another
Bill Watterson
I wasn't having any luck getting accepted anyway and it forced me to re-examine what it was that I really wanted to do. In my experience in political cartooning, I was never one of those people who read the headlines and foams at the mouth with rabid opinion that I've just got to get down on paper.
Bill Watterson
I suppose if we couldn't laugh at things that don't make sense, we couldn't react to a lot of life.
Bill Watterson
Know what's weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change. But pretty soon, everything's different.
Bill Watterson
People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.
Bill Watterson
Ms. Wormwood: Calvin, can you tell us what Lewis and Clark did? Calvin: No, but I can recite the secret superhero origin of each member of Captain Napalm's Thermonuclear League of Liberty. Ms. Wormwood: See me after class, Calvin. Calvin: [retrospectively] I'm not dumb. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information.
Bill Watterson
Look! A trickle of water running through some dirt! I'd say our afternoon just got booked solid!
Bill Watterson
I chose to tell the story visually, so that anyone of any age, from any country, could understand it.
Bill Watterson
Leave it to a girl to take the fun out of sex discrimination.
Bill Watterson
Garry Trudeau is the only cartoonist with the clout to get his strip published large enough to accomodate extended dialogue. It's ashame.
