The thing I don't understand is why so often one hears discussion of the fruits of human labor as if it's all the creation of some alien race.

More quotes by 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
Even the disappointing diffusion of a sheer curtain can suggest the most colorful bouquet of unspeakable secrets.
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
My mother was always encouraging about my wanting to be an artist.
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 think cartooning gets at, and re-creates on the page, some sixth sense ... in a way no other medium can.
Chris Ware
Mostly, I was only interested in television as a kid, and the majority of reading material I collected was an adjunct to that central concern, comic books and magazines included.
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 guess we all make choices as to how we want to live, right?
Chris Ware
Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read.
Chris Ware
I wouldn't classify television as cool, because to me anything that involves the reader's consciousness to drive and carry a story is an active medium, and anything that sort of just pours into the eyeballs and ears is the opposite.
Chris Ware
Well, there are better cartoonists now than there ever have been. I firmly believe that. There's some amazing work being done.
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 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
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
Comic strip is almost like music on a page that you perform in your mind. It's not just pictures. There's a particular rhythm and structure to it that is unlike anything else. It literally is like music. You hear it in your mind as you read it.
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 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.
