“You mix a bunch of ingredients, and once in a great while, chemistry happens.”

What state do you live in? Denial.

I think comics overall would be better. I think there’s a tremendous potential to be tapped.

There are two things that will be believed of any man whatsoever, and one of them is that he has taken to drink

Boy, there’s nothing worse than an inscrutable omen.

Everyone knows that! Hobbes: I’m looking it up. Calvin: You do, and I’ll look up that 12-letter word you played with all the Xs and Js! Hobbes: What’s your score for ZQFMGB? Calvin: 957.

I’ve got to start listening to those quiet, nagging doubts.

It seems like once people grow up, they have no idea what’s cool.

Calvin: Life’s a lot more fun when you aren’t responsible for your actions.

The truth is, most of us discover where we are headed when we arrive.

Some of the greatest relationship films of all time, the two stars have hated each other, but mostly you see that chemistry.

When you have chemistry with a potential hire, they will most likely become a great employee.

Did chemistry theorems exist? No: therefore you had to go further, not be satisfied with the quia, go back to the origins, to mathematics and physics.

I came here with the perfect chemist’s perception. The formula they had was perfect and any added ingredient could make it go bad or worse.

For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law.
