Things Calvin and Hobbes Said Better Than Anyone Else
Hobbes: So the secret to good self-esteem is to lower your expectations to the point where they’re already met?
On why ET is real
Calvin: Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
On the gaping hole in contemporary art’s soul
Calvin: People always make the mistake of thinking art is created for them. But really, art is a private language for sophisticates to congratulate themselves on their superiority to the rest of the world. As my artist’s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance.
On the tragedy of hipsters
Calvin: The world bores you when you’re cool.
On why we are scared of the dark
Calvin: I think night time is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction.
On life’s constant little limitations
Calvin: You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don’t help.
On the cruel reality of commercial art
Hobbes: Van Gogh would’ve sold more than one painting if he’d put tigers in them.
