More quotes by 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
Every city began as a campsite - pg. 25
Chris Ware
Cartoons are not real drawings, because they are drawings intended to be read.
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
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
The modern world seems to make fun of people in a lot of ways.

Real drawing is about specifics. It's about describing an object as accurately as possible. In a comic strip you have to draw a picture of the idea of the object. You have to draw the word that you are picturing, then you have to mix in specifics with it for it to work as a story. But you are still working with drawn words.
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.

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.
Chris Ware
I guess we all make choices as to how we want to live, right?
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
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
Comics are not a genre, but a developing language.
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
Even the disappointing diffusion of a sheer curtain can suggest the most colorful bouquet of unspeakable secrets.
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 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
I believe that the development of language - of naming, categorization, conceptualization - destroys our ability to see as we age.
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 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.
