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
Yeah, but actually, I've got the same questions about God.
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
CALVIN: When I grow up I want to be an inventor. First I will invent a time machine. Then I'll come back to yesterday and take myself to tomorrow and skip this dumb assignment.

Bill Watterson
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
You will do well to cultivate the resources in yourself that bring you happiness outside of success or failure.
Bill Watterson
I'll bet my autopsy reveals my mouth is too big.
Bill Watterson

Bill Watterson
