Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for September 21, 1993
Transcript:
Calvin: The more you know, the harder it is to take a decisive action. Once you become informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray. You realize that nothing is as clear and simple as it first appears. Ultimately, knowledge is paralyzing. Being a man of action, I can't afford to take that risk. Hobbes: You're ignorant, but at least you act on it.
