Calvin Quotes

Off late I've started reading the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. It's AMAZING! It takes some time to get used to the dark sarcastic humour and the frank take on life by a 5 year old kid and a humanlike tiger. But once you get the hang of it - it's addictive.

Found a thread about great Calvin quotes on the Calvin and Hobbes Orkut community. Here's a few choicest ones:
  • Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words.

  • In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks.

  • The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that they have not tried to contact us.

  • As a math atheist, I should be excused from this.

  • (About telivision) Oh, great altar of passive entertainment, bestow upon me thy discordant images at such speed as to render linear thought impossible!

  • (About telivision) This bowl of lukewarm tapioca represents my brain. I offer it in humble sacrifice. Bestow thy flickering light forever!

  1. I Was introduced to calvin long time back and am totally hooked..even starting my own collection of C&H books. Here are some more gems:

    >If you do a job badly enough, sometimes you don't get asked to do it again.

    >Given that, sooner or later, we're all going to die, what's the point of learning about integers

    >I'm related to people I don't relate to.

    I'm at peace with the world. I'm completely serene. I've discovered my purpose in life. I know why I was put here and why everything exists... I am here so everybody can do what I want. Once everybody accepts it, they'll be serene too.


    Have many more but then its better to subscribe to the C&H feed :- )

    Virtue isn't better than vice. It's just different.
