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

Calvin: Once it's too late, you appreciate what a miracle life is. You realize that nature is ruthless and our existence is very fragile and 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.                                                                                     SOURCE: Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson

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

Calvin: Do you think love is nothing but a biochemical reaction designed to make sure our genes get              passed on?   Mom: Whatever it is,it's all that's keeping me from strangling you right now.                                                                                                                            SOURCE: Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson
