Calvin and Hobbes

"God put me on earth to accomplish certain things. Right now, I’m so far behind, I’ll never die."

"You know, sometimes kids get bad grades in school because the class moves too slow for them. Einstein got D's in school. Well guess what, I get F's!!!"

"It's not denial. I'm just selective about the reality I accept."

"Sometimes when I'm talking, my words can't keep up with my thoughts. I wonder why we think faster than we speak. Probably so we can think twice."

"As far as I'm concerned, if something is so complicated that you can't explain it in 10 seconds, then it's probably not worth knowing anyway."

"I used to hate writing assignments, but now I enjoy them. I realized that the purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog! Want to see my book report?

Hobbes: (Reading Calvin's paper) "The Dynamics of Interbeing and Monological Imperatives in Dick and Jane: A Study in Psychic Transrelational Gender modes."

Calvin: Academia, here I come!"

"Every time I've built character, I've regretted it."

"I hate to think that all my current experiences will someday become stories with no point."

Bill Watterson

Calvin and Hobbes

“I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can be together all the time.”

"Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.”

“People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.”

“We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.”

"Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words.”

“Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave.”

"Life is never easy for those who dream.”

“Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.”

"Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.”

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

“History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction.”

“Life is like topography, Hobbes. There are summits of happiness and success, flat stretches of boring routine, and valleys of frustration and failure.”

Calvin [and Hobbes]

“You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood."
"What mood is that?"
"Last-minute panic."
