“I was jumping rope. Everything was fine. And then suddenly everything seemed so futile.”

“Schroeder, do you think love is the answer to everything?""Boy, I hope not!”

“Do you ever feel like running away?""Of course... Sometimes I feel like I want to run away from everything.""I remember having that feeling once when I was at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm... I climbed over the fence, but I was still in the world!”

“Never jump into a pile of leaves with a wet sucker.”

“It's the big kids who get everything! They push you out of line at the show... They grab all the cake and ice cream at parties...""I guess that's just the way life is...""In the animal kingdom, we call it, 'survival of the fattest'!”

“Well, I can understand how you feel. You worked hard, studying for the spelling bee, and I suppose you feel you let everyone down, and you made a fool of yourself and everything. But did you notice something, Charlie Brown?" "What's that?""The world didn't come to an end.”

“I want to be liked... No, I want to be more than just liked... I want people to say, "that Charlie Brown is a great guy!" And when people are at parties, I want them to look for me, and when I finally arrive, I want them to say, "here comes good ol' Charlie Brown... Now everything will be all right!" I want to be a special person... I want to be needed... It's kind of hard to explain... Do you understand? I mean, do you know what I'm talking about?""Sure, I understand perfectly...""Well?""Forget it! Five cents, please!”
