Calvin: Look, a dead bird! Hobbes: It must've hit a window. Calvin: Isn't it beautiful? It's so delicate. Sighhh... once it's too late, you appreciate what a miracle life is. You realize that nature is ruthless and our existence is very fragile, temporary, and precious. But to go on with your daily affairs, you can't really think about that... which is probably why everyone takes the world for granted and why we act so thoughtlessly. It's very confusing. I suppose it will all make sense when we grow up. Hobbes: No doubt.
Bill WattersonMomโs not feeling well. So Iโm making her a get well card.โ โThatโs thoughtful of you.โ "See, on the front it says, โGet Well Soonโ โฆ and on the inside it says,โBecause my bed isnโt made, my clothes need to be put away and Iโm hungry. Love Calvin.โ Want to sign it?โ โSure, Iโm hungry too
Bill WattersonCALVIN: This whole Santa Claus thing just doesn't make sense. Why all the secrecy? Why all the mystery? If the guy exists why doesn't he ever show himself and prove it? And if he doesn't exist what's the meaning of all this? HOBBES: I dunno. Isn't this a religious holiday? CALVIN: Yeah, but actually, I've got the same questions about God.
