More quotes by Bill Watterson
If you can't win by reason, go for volume.
Bill Watterson
I played in rock bands in college and then right out of college I moved over to Europe and lived in Ireland for about four years playing in indie rock bands. I love and miss being in a band, I still am in a band but pursuing that as a career I definitely missed it but I felt like that ship had sailed.
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
Some people are pragmatists, taking things as they come and making the best of the choices available. Some people are idealists, standing for principle and refusing to compromise. And some people just act on any whim that enters their heads. I pragmatically turn my whims into principles.
Bill Watterson
You will do well to cultivate the resources in yourself that bring you happiness outside of success or failure.
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
I think nighttime is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction.
Bill Watterson
I've always been a huge fan of fantasy and adventure, putting yourself in someone else's shoes, I'm sure that's why I'm an actor. It's why I played with action figures as a kid, that's why I wrote and drew and read comics as a kid.
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
It's surprising how hard we'll work when the work is done just for ourselves.
Bill Watterson
Things are never quite as scary when you've got a best friend.
Bill Watterson
So long, Pop! I'm off to check my tiger trap!
Bill Watterson
I won't eat any cereal that doesn't turn the milk purple.
