You’ve taught me nothing except how to cynically manipulate the system. On the unspoken truth behind the education systemĬalvin: As you can see, I have memorized this utterly useless piece of information long enough to pass a test question. Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!Ĭalvin: I think night time is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction. (NOTE: Check out Part II: Sixteen MORE Things Calvin and Hobbes Said Better Than Anyone Else)Ĭalvin: You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don’t help.Ĭalvin: Everybody seeks happiness! Not me, though! That’s the difference between me and the rest of the world. So here, in no particular order, is a selection of Calvin and Hobbes quotes that nail everything from the meaning of life to special underwear. I’m not saying that you should take moral and philosophical guidance from the inventor of Calvinball (a game that runs on chaos theory), but you could do much worse. His comic strip managed to infuse wondering (and wandering) on a cosmic scale into an ageless world of lazy Sunday afternoons, snow goons, and harassed babysitters. And when I sober up, I usually think exactly the same as Calvin and Hobbes.īill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes ran between 19. In my more giddy moments I think that a simple comic strip featuring Calvin, a preternaturally bright six year-old, and Hobbes, his imaginary tiger friend, features some of the most lucid sentences committed to print. White, the perfect sentence is one from which nothing can be added or removed.
