I know that I already have one qoute page; but I had to dedicate a seperate one to one of my favorite comics, Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson. Seeing the world thru a child's eyes is something we should all do from time to time.  As we grow older, we loose the innocence and imagination that is expressed thru his comics.  I hope that you enjoy this as much as I do. 
Life is like topography, Hobbes.  There are summits of happiness and success...Flat stretches of boring routine.. ...And valleys of frustration and failure.

I try to make everyone's day a little more surreal.

You know how people are.  They only reconginize greatness when some authority confirms it.

If you couldn't find any weirdness, maybe we'll just have to make some!

Mom and Dad can make the rules and forbid certain things, but I can make them wish that they never had a kid.

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 nothing anyway.

Reality continues to ruin my life.

You know, there are times when its a source of personal pride not to be human.

There's no problem so awful that you can't add some guilt to it and make it even worse!

In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks.

I love Saturday morning cartoons.  What classic humor!  This is what entertainment is all about....Idiots, explosives and falling anvils.

If you do the job badly enough, sometimes you don't get asked to do it again.

Talking with you is sort of the conversational equivalent of an out-of-body experience.

It's only work if somebody makes you do it.

What I like is when you're looking and thinking and looking and thinking....and suddenly, you wake up.

What fun is being "cool" if you can't wear a sombrero?

The hard part of us avant-garde-modern artists is deciding whether or not to embrace commercialism.







I like maxims that don't encourage behavior modification.

There's an inverse relationship between how good something is for you, and how much fun it is.

It's not the pace of mind I mind.  Its the sudden stop at the end.

So basically, this maverick is urging everyone to express his individuality through comformity in brand-name selection?

So the secret to good self-esteem is to lower your expectations to the point where they're already met?

The secret to happiness is short-term, stupid self-interest!

From now on, I'm not doing anything I don't want to do! The world owes me happiness, fulfillment and success...I'm just here to cash in.

Van Gogh would've sold more than one painting if he'd put tigers in them.

The strength to change what I can, the inability to accept what I can't, and the incapacity to tell the difference.

Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.

Everytime I've built character, I've regretted it.

Happiness is being famous for your financial ability to indulge in every kind of excess. 

True friends are hard to come by...I need more money.

My brain wishes my ego had call waiting.

Everybody I know needs a complete personality overhaul!

The good thing about drawing a tiger is that it automatically makes you picture fine art.

My life needs a rewind/erase button.  And volume control.
 






Calvin: Whats it like to fall in love? 
Hobbes:  Well...say the object of your affection walks by...
Calvin: Yeah?
Hobbes: First, your heart falls into your stomach and splashes your innards.  All the moisture makes you sweat profusely.  This condensation shorts the circuits to your brain, and you get all woozy.  When your brain burns out altogether, your mouth disengages and you babble like a cretin until she leaves.
Calvin: Thats love?!?
Hobbes: Medically speaking.
Calvin: Heck, that happened to me more than once, but I figured it was cooties!

The best presents don't come in boxes.

Childhood is short, maturity is forever.

                  If people could put rainbows in zoos, they'd do it.

                     There is more to this world than people, you know.

                                        To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible.


                                      The worst part is that I didn't even have the fun of doing the things I'm getting blamed for!

Everybody I know fails the acid test of friendship.

What assurance do I have that your parenting isn't screwing me up?

You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don't help.

This clean, wholesome television.  Ughh, it makes me sick!

People think that 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.

I think nighttime is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction.

I don't know which is worse....that everyone has a price or that the price is always so low.

I understand my tests are popular reading in the teacher's lounge.

I don't need to compromise my principles, because they don't have the slightest bearing on what happens to me anyway.

There is never enough time to do all the nothing you want.

I used to have writing assignments, but now I enjoy them.  I realixed 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!

Live and don't learn, thats us.

Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.

Sometimes I think the surest sign of intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. 


My brain always rejects attitude transplants.

I have all these great genes, but they're recessive. 
Thats the problem here.

Calvin: When I grow up, I'm not going to read the newspaper and I'm not going to follor complex issues and I'm not going to vote.  That way, I can complain when the government doesn't represent me.  Then, when everything goes down the tubes, i can say the system doesn't work and jusify my further lack of participation.
Hobbes: An ingeniously self-fulfilling plan.
Calvin: It's a lot more fun to blame things than to fix them.

Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?

Its psychosomatic.  You need a lobotomy.  I'll get a saw.

Trusting parents can be hazardous to your health. 

Reading goes faster if you dont' sweat comprehension.

I imagine it must be a great temptation to misuse one's parental authority for private jokes.

I'd hate to have a kid like me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul. 

In my opinion, television validates existence.

I don't need parents.  All I need is a recording that says, "Go play outside!"

History is the fiction we invite to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction.  That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change.  We need new version of history to allow for our current prejudices. 

Hobbes: Do you think there's a God?
Calvin: Well, somebody's out to get me!!

I won't eat any cereal that doens't turn the milk purple.

If you don't' get a good night kiss, you get kafka dreams.

That's one of the remarkable things about life.  It's never so bad that it can't get worse.

You know how old people always write letters to Dear Abby, complaining that their kids never write, call or visit?  Those letters really crack me up.

The only skills I have the patience to learn are those that have no real application in life.

My internal clock is on Tokyo time.

Things are never quite as scary when you've got a best friend.

I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know.

I think life should be more like tv.  I think all of life's problems ought to be solved in 30 minutes with simple solutions, don't you? 
I think weight and oral hygiene ought to be our biggest concerns. 
I think we should all have powerful, high paying jobs, and everyone should drive fancy sports cars.
All our desires should be instantly gratified. 
Women should always wear tight clothes and men should carry powerful handguns.  Life overal should be more glamours, thrill-packed and filled with applause, don't you think?










I'm a 21st century kid trapped in a 19th century family.

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

I had resolved to be less offended by human nature, but I think I blew it already. 

A little rudness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day. 

Calvin: I've been thinking, Hobbes.
Hoobes: On a weekend??
Calvin:  Well, it wasn't on purpose....


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

                                               Life's a lot more fun when you're not responsible for your actions.

You know how Einstein got bad grades as a kid?  Well, mine are even worse!

A day can really slp by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do. 

Obviously my body doesn't believe one little kid could have some much brains!

Calvin:  Dad, how do people make babies?
Dad: Most people just go to Sears, but the kit, and follow the assembly instructions. 
Calvin: I came from Sears???
Dad: No, you were a Blue Light Special at K-Mart.  Almost as good, and a lot cheaper.

But for my own example, I'd never believe one little kid could have so much brains!

Nothing spoils fun like fiding out it builds character. 

Moms and reason are like oil and water.
