Quote #26

For centuries, the "brightest minds" on earth had ignored the ancient sciences, mocking them as ignorant superstitions, arming themselves instead with smug skepticism and dazzling new technologies--tools that led them only further from the truth. Every generation's breakthroughs are proven false by the next generation's technology. And so it had gone through the ages. The more man has learned, the more he realized that he did not know.

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 #32

Calvin: Space travel makes you realize how small we really are. When you see Earth as a tiny blue speck in the infinite reaches of space, you have to wonder about the mysteries of creation. Surely we're all part of some great design, no more or less important than anything else in the universe. Surely everything fits together has a purpose, a reason for being. Doesn't it make you wonder? SOURCE: Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson
