Bill Watterson's quote

William "Bill" Boyd Watterson II (born July 5, 1958) is an American cartoonist and the author of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, which was syndicated from 1985 to 1995. Watterson stopped drawing Calvin and Hobbes at the end of 1995 with a short statement to newspaper editors and his readers that he felt he had achieved all he could in the medium. Watterson is known for his views on licensing and comic syndication, as well as for his reclusive nature.

I'm killing time while I wait for life to shower me with meaning and happiness.

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

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. The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes

Who was the guy who first looked at a cow and said 'I think I’ll drink whatever comes out of these when I squeeze ’em?'

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

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

If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I'll bet they'd live a lot differently.

I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know. The Authoritative Calvin And Hobbes

I think nighttime is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction. The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes
