The Days Are Just Packed Quotes

“Calvin and Hobbes are chatting. HOBBES: Aren't you supposed to be doing homework now? CALVIN: I quit doing homework. Homework is bad for my self-esteem. HOBBES: It is? CALVIN: Sure! It sends the message that I don't know enough. All that emphasis on right answers makes me feel bad when I get them wrong. CALVIN: So instead of trying to learn, I'm just concentrating on liking myself the way I am. HOBBES: Your self-esteem is enhanced by remaining an ignoramus? CALVIN: Please! Let's call it 'informationally impaired.”

No Hamster Huey tonight! We've read that book a million times! CALVIN: I want Hamster Huey! CALVIN'S DAD, Nearly Pleading: Look, you KNOW how the story goes. You've memorized the whole thing! It's the same story every day! CALVIN, Screaming: I want Hamster Huey! CALVIN, LYING IN BED WITH EYES OF WONDERMENT: Wow, the story was different THAT time!
