I say if a novelty Christmas song is funny one time, then it is funny every time. - Calvin

Hobbes: How come we play war and not peace? Calvin: Too few role models.

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?

Every time I've built character, I've regretted it.

Genius is never understood in its own time.

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.

CALVIN: Our hero regains consciousness at the feet of a sarcastic alien.
