Charlie Brown
Sometimes I lie awake at night and ask 'Why me?' Then a voice answers 'Nothing personal, your name just happened to come up.'
Charlie Brown
CB: Everything seems hopeless... I'm completely depressed. Lucy: Go home. And eat a jelly-bread sandwich folded over. Five cents please. (CB leaves. Lucy puts her feet up.) There are some cures you don't learn in medical school.
Linus: How do you like the chocolate I made for you? Lucy: It's terrible! It's too weak! It tastes like some warm water that has had a brown crayon dipped in it! Linus: (tastes it.) You're right. I'll go put in another crayon.
Linus: Life is peculiar. Wouldn't you like to have your life to live over if you knew what you know now? Sally: What do I know now?
Lucy: I'm intrigued by this view you have on the purpose of life, Charlie Brown. You say we're put on this earth to make others happy? ... What are the others put here for?
Snoopy: My life has no purpose. My life has no direction, no aim, no meaning. And yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out! What am I doing right?
Look, I don't want to wax philosophic but I will say that if you're alive, you got to flap your arms and legs, you got to jump around a lot, you got to make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death." - Mel Brooks
Lucy: What else does that article say? Linus: It says 'Girls outperform boys in verbal skills.' Lucy: I told you so, you blockhead!
"How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone." -Coco Chanel
“I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir.”
David Bowie quote

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
"You study, you learn, but you guard the original naivete. It has to be within you."
Henri Matisse
“I wouldn't mind turning into a vermilion goldfish.”
Henri Matisse
“My curves are not crazy.”
Henri Matisse
“Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.”
Anatole France

Jean Cocteau
“Madness is to think of too many things in succession too fast, or of one thing too exclusively”
Voltaire
“The more I read, the more I meditate; and the more I acquire, the more I am enabled to affirm that I know nothing”
Voltaire
“We exaggerate misfortune and happiness alike. We are never as bad off or as happy as we say we are.”

“What is art? Nature concentrated.”
Honore de Balzac
