Quote #19

Maximilian Kohler: Mr. Langdon, all questions were once spiritual. Since the beginning of time, spirituality and religion have been called on to fill in the gaps that science did not understand. The rising and setting of the Sun was once attributed to Helios and a flaming chariot. Earthquakes and tidal waves were the wrath of Poseidon. Science has now proven those gods to be false idols. Soon all gods will be proven to be false idols. Science has now provided answers to almost every question man can ask. There are only a few questions left, and they are the esoteric ones. Where do we come from? What are we doing here? What is the meaning of like and the universe?

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
