    Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.

    Evil in the open is but evil from within that has been let out. The main battlefield for good is not the open ground of the public arena but the small clearing of each heart.

    From Calvin and Hobbes, I could not resist....

    A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

    Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words.

    This one's tricky. You have to use imaginary numbers, like eleventeen ...

    You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don't help.

    sooooo quotable!
