“ I just tried to write honestly, and I tried to make this little world fun to look at, so people would take the time to read it. That was the full extent of my concern. You mix a bunch of ingredients, and once in a great while, chemistry happens. I can’t explain why the strip caught on the way it did, and I don’t think I could ever duplicate it. A lot of things have to go right all at once.

Bill Watterson, in his first interview since 1989 (via alaskamiller)
I’d like to think that Bill Watterson lives somewhere like North Royalton or Eastlake — going to the Giant Eagle every Thursday, the Regal Cinemas once in a while, listening to the Indians on the radio and drinking a beer while he doodles late at night. He’s here among us, somewhere.

“Wisdom” trailer. Sound bites from lots of cool people. You know all this stuff, but it’s still great to watch and hear.

“ Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.
— J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 24, spoken by the character Mr. Antolini (via nedhepburn)
