favourite quotes
A small collection of my favourite quotes:
- Calvin: They say the world is a stage. But obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines.
Hobbes: Maybe that's why its hard to tell if we're in a tragedy or a farce.
Calvin: We need more special effects and dance numbers!
Bill Watterson, "There's Treasure Everywhere" p.62 - Calvin, sitting in the tub: I read that Teddy Roosevelt once said, "Do what you can with what you have where you are."
Hobbes: That's a good advice.
Calvin: Of course. I doubt he was in the tub when he said that.
Bill Watterson, "The Days are just packed" p.30 - Calvin: Bad news, Dad. The character issue is killing you in the polls.
Dad: WHAT character issue? I've got GREAT character! I've got character up to here!
Calvin: That's what we hate.
Dad: My only flaw is a preternatural intolerance for pesky kids.
Bill Watterson, "The Days are just packed" p.69 - Calvin: Paul Gaugin asked, "Whence do we come? What are we? Were are we going?"
Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I came from my room, I'm a kid with big plans, and I'm going outside! See ya later!
Mom: ...!?
Calvin, peeking back: Say, who the heck is Paul Gaugin anyway?
Bill Watterson, "The Days are just packed" p.69 - Calvin, standing in front of the class: Today for show and tell I've brought a tiny marvel of nature: a single snowflake. I think we all might learn a lesson from how this utterly unique and exquise cristal turns into an ordinary, boring molecule of water, just like every other one, when you bring it in the classroom. And now, while the analogy sinks in, I'll be leaving you drips and going outside.
Miss Wormwood: CALVIN!
Bill Watterson, "Homocidal psycho jungle cat" p.58 - Calvin: It's hard to be mad at someone who misses you while you're asleep.
Bill Watterson, "It's a magical world" p.37 - The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.
William Shakespeare, "As You Like It" V i - Theorie ist, wenn man alles weiss, aber nichts funktioniert. Praxis ist, wenn alles funktioniert, aber niemand weiss warum. Hier ist Theorie und Praxis vereint: nichts funktioniert… und niemand weiss wieso!
Albert Einstein (zugeschrieben)
