"Years from now, when I'm successful and happy, ...and he's in prison... I hope I'm not too mature to gloat."

"CALVIN:When I grow up I want to be an inventor. First I will invent a time machine. Then I'll come back to yesterday and take myself to tomorrow and skip this dumb assignment."

"Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him?"

"I liked things better when I didn't understand them."

"To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble."

"HOBBES:If you don't get a goodnight kiss you get Kafka dreams."

"In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks."

"It's not denial. I'm just selective about the reality I accept."

"To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble."

"That's the whole problem with science. You've got a bunch of empiricists trying to describe things of unimaginable wonder."

"I've got to start listening to those quiet, nagging doubts."

"Hobbes: Do you think there's a God?Calvin: Well, somebody's out to get me!"

"Reality continues to ruin my life."

"I'm killing time while I wait for life to shower me with meaning and happiness."

"We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are."

"You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help."

"HOBBES:Virtue needs some cheaper thrills."

"CALVIN:As usual goodness hardly puts up a fight."

"Sometimes when I'm talking, my words can't keep up with my thoughts. I wonder why we think faster than we speak. Probably so we can think twice."

"To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble."
