Bill WattersonWe all have different desires and needs, but if we don't discover what we want from ourselves and what we stand for, we will live passively and unfulfilled.
Bill WattersonCalvin: The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action. Once you are informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray.

Hobbes: You're ignorant, but at least you act on it.
