Lately, I cant shake the feeling that Ive been living a dream for the last 10 years or so I cant account for most of my 20s, and I have to continually remind myself that certain people are dead now and many of my friends have children.

More quotes by Chris Ware
I guess I just don't like being physically in front of people I don't know very well, because I expect to be seen through, or, even worse, instantly hated.
Chris Ware
Even the disappointing diffusion of a sheer curtain can suggest the most colorful bouquet of unspeakable secrets.
Chris Ware
Drawing on a computer doesn't make any sense to me. It's not intuitive.
Chris Ware
One of the things that appealed to me most about comics was that you can pick the ones you like and build your own personal pantheon.
Chris Ware
I can definitely say that of all my friends who I consider to be really great cartoonists, we're all trying to aim at basically the same thing, which is an ever closer representation of what it feels like to be alive.
Chris Ware
I have a preponderance to look smug in photos something to do with the way my mouth turns up at the corners.
Chris Ware
I don't think there's any independent cartoonist whose stuff I don't like or respect in at least some way or another. We're all marginal laborers - we're practically medical oddities - so I don't see why we can't all be nice to each other.
Chris Ware
Comics are not a genre, but a developing language.
Chris Ware
Sometimes I get worried I'm getting too caught up in the nauseatingly oily smoothness of my own line, when all I'm trying to do is make it as clear as possible.
Chris Ware
I don't think of myself as an illustrator. I think of myself as a cartoonist. I write the story with pictures - I don't illustrate the story with the pictures.
Chris Ware
I think cartooning gets at, and re-creates on the page, some sixth sense ... in a way no other medium can.
Chris Ware
There's something very strange and wrong-seeming about drawing realistic eyeballs in comics, at least in the mode of comics where action is carried more by the movement of the characters rather than where narration links disparately framed selected images.
Chris Ware
Cartooning isn't really drawing, any more than talking is singing... The possible vocabulary of comics is by definition unlimited, the tactility of an experience told in pictures outside the boundaries of words, and the rhythm of how these drawings 'feel' when read is where the real art resides.
Chris Ware
I guess we all make choices as to how we want to live, right?
Chris Ware
No one blames themselves if they don't understand a cartoon, as they might with a painting or real art they simply think it's a bad cartoon.
Chris Ware
I think it has most to do with the way in which a story is told, whether it feels real either via the music of the telling or the honesty of the story.
Chris Ware
My grandmother was an unparalleled storyteller who gave me a preview of how life might turn out, and also fortified my empathy.
Chris Ware
Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read.
Chris Ware
Whereas in a memory you edit things out and sort of restructure the things to seem a little bit more heroic, or to focus on particular aspects that magnify or reduce certain things.
Chris Ware
I prefer to imagine that my wife, a few friends, and occasionally my mom are the only ones who read what I do, though I realize that this is somewhat unrealistic.
