Quote

Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask, Is life a multiple choice test or is it a true or false test? ...Then a voice comes to me out of the dark and says, We hate to tell you this but life is a thousand word essay.

Sometimes I lie awake at night and think about that little red-haired girl... I don't ever want to forget her face, but if I don't forget her face, I'll go crazy... How can I remember the face I can't forget? Suddenly I'm writing country western music!

Charlie Brown: Life is just too much for me... I've been confused right from the day I was born... I think the whole trouble is that we're thrown into life too fast... We're not really prepared... Linus: What did you want... A chance to warm up first?

All I wanted to do was be a hero... But do I ever get to be a hero? All I ever get to be is the stupid goat! Don't be discouraged, Charlie Brown... In this life we live, there are always some bitter pills to be swallowed... If it's all the same with you, I'd rather not renew my perscription!

Sometimes, when you're really depressed, all you want to do is nothing. All you want to do is lean your head on your arm, and stare into space. Sometimes this can go on for hours. If you're unusually depressed, you may have to change arms.

Mom put a note in my lunch again, I see... Dear son, I hope you will study hard in summer school... Do not look upon it as a punishment, but rather as a privilege... We are very proud of you, and want you to have a good education. This note will self-destruct in five seconds.
