Quote #2

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 things that don't make sense, we couldn't react to a lot of                   life. . .

Quote #9

Calvin: The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action. Once you become informed, you start seeing the complexities and shades of gray. You realize that nothing is as clear and simple as it appears. Ultimately, knowledge is paralyzing.                                                                                     SOURCE: Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

Quote #10

Calvin: Graphic violence in the media. Does it glamorize violence? Sure. Does it desensitize us to violence? Of course. Does it help us to tolerate violence? You bet. Does it stunt our fellow beings? Heck yes. Does it cause violence? SOURCE:  Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson.

Quote #7

Calvin: We don't understand what really causes events to happen. History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices. . .   SOURCE: Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson
