“I just keep my pistol as a conversation piece: I
point it at someone and the conversation starts flowing.”
― Thayer Yates, Glasspier

“Everyone in this city sells their soul sooner or later, I just made sure I got a good price.”
― Thayer Yates, Glasspier

“I wanted independence, not power, but what if the two were synonymous?”
― Thayer Yates, Glasspier

“There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want.”
― Bill Watterson

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should be denied it.”
― Alan Moore, V for Vendetta

“CALVIN:
Isn't it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humor?

When you think about it, it's weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like it. We think it's funny.

Don't you think it's odd that we appreciate absurdity? Why would we develop that way? How does it benefit us?

HOBBES:
I suppose if we couldn't laugh at the things that don't make sense, we couldn't react to a lot of life.”
― Bill Watterson

“We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.”
― Bill Watterson
