Calvin and Hobbes will forever be my favourite comic series
- “I think night time is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction” – Calvin
- “History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction” – Calvin
- Calvin: Isn’t it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humour? When you think about it, it’s weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like it. We think it’s funny. Don’t you think it’s odd that we appreciate absurdity? Why would we develop that way? How does it benefit us?
Hobbes: I suppose if we couldn’t laugh at things that don’t make sense, we couldn’t react to a lot of life
- “You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don’t help” – 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” – Calvin
- “If good things lasted forever, would we appreciate how precious they are?” – Calvin
- “Finding something important in life does not mean that you must give up everything else” – Calvin
- “You know what’s weird? Day by day. Nothing seems to change. But pretty soon…Everything’s different” – Calvin
- Calvin: They say the world is a stage. But obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines
Hobbes: Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce
Calvin: We need more special effects and dance numbers

There are a lot of deep Calvin and Hobbes quotes.
Despite it being like the comic series that I laugh about all the time, it gets me to think.
In the ones you gave Red-san I think my favourites are 7, 8 and 9.

I love number 2 and 5… No- I think all of them!!
This makes me think of Phineas and Ferb for some reason. Maybe it’s the show title and the duo.
Great list!

I forgot how amazing Calvin and Hobbes were. So many amazing quotes! I love the one about finding the absurd funny… It’s so true that we have to laugh at the things that don’t make sense… There’s so much of it! And WE ALL NEED MORE DANCE NUMBERS!!! I try to dance as much as I can… I’m not good at it, but it’s a good stress reliever! Lol!!
