Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive.
Bill Watterson
Kenyon College Commencement 1990, 1990
A história por trás desta citação
The fiercely private creator of Calvin and Hobbes spoke from experience: he was in a years-long battle with his syndicate over merchandising his characters, refusing millions to protect the integrity of his art. He told the graduates that selling out is really buying in — buying into someone else's system of values, rules, and rewards. The 'opportunity' his syndicate offered would have turned his comic strip into everything calculated, empty, and robotic that he hated about his old job designing car ads in a windowless basement.
