  1. A quotation from Bill Watterson

       CALVIN: My powerful brain has come up with a topic for my paper.
       HOBBES: Great.
       CALVIN: I’ll write about the debate over tyrannosaurs. Were they fearsome predators or disgusting scavengers?
       HOBBES: Which side will you defend?
       CALVIN: Oh, I believe they were fearsome predators, definitely.
       HOBBES: How come?
       CALVIN: They’re so much cooler that way.

  2. A quotation from Bill Watterson

    CALVIN: I used to hate writing assignments, but now I enjoy them. I realized that the purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!
