Quote #31

Dean Galloway: Is there? Is it not possible that we are still living in the Dark Ages, still mocking the suggestion of 'mystical' forces that we cannot see or comprehend? History, if it has taught us anything at all, has taught us that the strange ideas we deride today are will one day be our celebrated truths.I claim I can transform this pyramid with a touch of my finger, and you question my sanity. I would expect more from a historian. History is replete with great minds who have proclaimed the same thing . . . great minds who have all insisted that man possesses mystical abilities if which he is unaware.

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
