  1. A quotation from Bill Watterson

       CALVIN: I’m at peace with the world. I’m completely serene.
       HOBBES: Why is that?
       CALVIN: I’ve discoved my purpose in life. I know why I was put here and why everything exists.
       HOBBES: Oh, really?
       CALVIN: Yes. I am here so everybody can do what I want.
       HOBBES: It’s nice to have that cleared up.
       CALVIN: Once everyone accepts it, they’ll be serene, too.

  2. A quotation from Mignon McLaughlin

    No matter how brilliantly an idea is stated, we will not really be moved unless we have half-thought of it ourselves.

  3. @tzimmer_history the beauty of Twitter, is that it allowed all of us to communicate, as one mind. But the destruction of Twitter by #ManChildElon will not destroy the human spirit. We will find a way to communicate. It just won’t be at the whim of a #petulant #SelfAbsorbed #arrogant creature such as #Elon.
