01UndatedWell, I know about loneliness. I won't talk about it, but I was very lonely after the war. I know what it feels like to spend a whole weekend all by yourself and no one wants you at all.Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
02UndatedThere must be different kinds of loneliness, or at least different degrees of loneliness, but the most terrifying loneliness is not experienced by everyone and can be understood by only a few. I compare the panic in this kind of loneliness to the dog we see running frantically down the road pursuing the family car. He is not really being left behind, for the family knows it is to return, but for that moment in his limited understanding, he is being left alone forever, and he has to run and run to survive. It is no wonder that we make terrible choices in our lives to avoid loneliness.Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
05UndatedI have underlined words and sentences in one of the Bibles that has always been my study Bible, but when I look at those words and sentences now, I can’t remember why they were underlined. One day I was rereading a short story by Joanne Greenberg, and I came across a long passage that I had marked off, but as I looked at it, I couldn't remember why. Perhaps I had meant to ask her about it the next time we talked on the phone, but now I have no idea what it could be that I wanted to ask her. My Revised Standard version of the Bible is filled with markings, for I have gone through it word for word with study groups at least four times, and of course, I have used it on various occasions to begin speeches. I know that the underlined passages served some purpose, but here and there are verses that have no special meaning to me. It is almost as if a friend had secretly opened the book and made some markings just to tease me. What was the spirit trying to say to me then that I no longer need to hear? Or, what was I listening for then that I no longer care about?Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
06UndatedCharlie Brown: A penny! Rats! Why couldn't I have found a nickel? What good is a penny these days? Why do things like that always happen to me?! *walks off frustrated*Lucy: Gee, he found a penny! Why don't things like that ever happen to me?Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
07UndatedI think this is irresponsible preaching and very dangerous, and especially when it is slanted toward children, I think it's totally irresponsible, because I see nothing biblical that points up to our being in the last days, and I just think it's an outrageous thing to do, and a lot of people are making a living—they've been making a living for 2,000 years—preaching that we're in the last days.Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
09UndatedAll his life he tried to be a good person. Many times, however, he failed.For after all, he was only human. He wasn't a dog.Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
10UndatedTell me what you'll do if you're captured by the coyotes... Well, that might work, but does your mother live near here?Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
14UndatedHow do we know where we're going? Follow the moon! Remember, the moon is always over Hollywood, and Needles isn't far from Hollywood.Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
16UndatedMy last penny! I think I'll squander it on myself. I never feel badly about spending money my dad has earned honestly! I can't decide whether I should buy a balloon or a gumball. A gumball would taste mighty good, but a balloon would be a lot more fun... I'll take a balloon! Sooner or later in life a person has to learn to make decisions! (Sees someone with a different color balloon) Gee, I wish I'd bought a RED balloon.Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
17UndatedPatty: I'll be the good guy.Shermy: I'll be the bad guy.Patty: What are you going to be, Charlie Brown?Charlie Brown: I'll be sort of in-between; I'll be a hypocrite!Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
18UndatedLife has its sunshine and its rain, sir... its days and its nights... its peaks and its valleys...Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
20UndatedMy life has no purpose no direction no aim no meaning and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right?Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
21UndatedI've developed a new philosophy - I only dread one day at a time.Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
22UndatedJogging is very beneficial. It's good for your legs and your feet. It's also very good for the ground. It makes it feel needed.Charles M. Schulz / quote ↗
