Everything is negotiable.

Life, lived well, includes: engagement and self-confidence-infused action combined with observation and self-questioning insight.

Parents only know what they know. Not nothing. Not everything.

Replace the word 'Parents' with 'Authority'.

Imagination is the doorway to creation.

Inner Freedom is a muscle.

    I never really had much experience of C and H as a kid, maybe it's cos I'm Scottish, but anytime I came across stuff, loved it. Most importantly, I also know enough about the show and what it means to people to know that you got this on the bullseye, Tony! Well done! Congrats on well deserved Top Story!

  • Books of my childhood! I love that second-to-last line.

  • I love Calvin and Hobbes! Imagination is definitely the doorway to creation! Congratulations on your Top Story!

    This almost made me tear up, because I recognize reading all of these books as a kid. God, flipping their pages was so euphoric. Bill Watterson may have known what he was writing, but I betcha he probably didn't know about how many lives he would affect in such a positive way. I remember being a little kid and trying to buy "Attack of The Killer Snow Goons" froma book store as a kid, and rummaging through my wallet just to try to break even with the tax at the time. I even had a special coin on hand at the moment that wasn't official currency, but it sure looked valuable, even if it wasn't made out of any precious metals. God, those stories take me back, and their artwork too was just phenomal. One of my favorites was Calvin tobogganing off the side of a mountain holding on for dear life only for reality to be a small little slope for him to slide down off of.

    Like I said on Discord: magic.

  • As inner freedom is a muscle, one must stretch the imagination and exercise it. Very nice. I do love Calvin and Hobbes. Actually, I have a stuffed Hobbes tiger, lol. My wife stole him from me to claim as her own.
