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.

More quotes by 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
The modern world seems to make fun of people in a lot of ways.
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
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 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.
Chris Ware
Even the disappointing diffusion of a sheer curtain can suggest the most colorful bouquet of unspeakable secrets.
Chris Ware
Comics are not a genre, but a developing language.
Chris Ware
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 believe that the development of language - of naming, categorization, conceptualization - destroys our ability to see as we age.
Chris Ware
As a cartoonist, my single goal is to create people with whom, for better or for worse - and regardless of how embarrassing it sounds - I can fall in love and somehow feel something deeply about, and through.
Chris Ware
My mother was always encouraging about my wanting to be an artist.

Every city began as a campsite - pg. 25
Chris Ware
Drawing on a computer doesn't make any sense to me. It's not intuitive.
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
I guess we all make choices as to how we want to live, right?
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
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
There is absolutely no single aspect of one's personality that is more important to develop than empathy, which is not a skill at which men typically are asked to excel. I believe empathy is not only the core of art, literature and music, but should also be at the core of society, from ethics to economics.
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.
