How about ten memorable quotes from the popular Peanuts comic strip character created by Charles “Sparky” Schultz? That kid really was a master of angst.
- “A friend is someone who knows all your faults, but likes you anyway.”
- “Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it sure makes the rest of you lonely.”
- “Keep looking up … that’s the secret of life.”
- “My anxieties have anxieties.”
- “I’m already tired tomorrow.”
- “Be yourself. Nobody can say you’re doing it wrong.”
- “In the book of life, the answers aren’t in the back.”
- “What can you do when you don’t fit in?”
- “Whenever I feel really alone, I just sit and stare into the night sky. I’ve always thought that one of those stars is my star, and I know that my star will always be there for me. Like a comforting voice saying, ‘Don’t give up, kid.’”
- “Good grief.”
And here I had long dismissed him as somehow shallow, coming up with sappy lines like “Happiness is a warm puppy.”
Do kids today even know what a comic strip was?
