Charles Monroe “Sparky” Schulz (1922 – 2000) was an American cartoonist and creator of the comic strip Peanuts (which featured the characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy, among others). He is widely regarded as one of the most influential cartoonists of all time, cited by cartoonists including Jim Davis, Bill Watterson, Matt Groening, Dav Pilkey, and Stephan Pastis.
“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 five thousand word essay.”
“This is my depressed stance. When you’re depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you’ll start to feel better. If you’re going to get any joy out of being depressed, you’ve got to stand like this.”
“Try not to have a good time…this is supposed to be educational.”
“I don’t think God wants to be worshiped. I think the only pure worship of God is by loving one another, and I think all other forms of worship became a substitute for the love that we should show one another.”
“Linus: Nothing goes on forever. All good things must come to an end…
Charlie: When do the good things start?”
“Maybe I can put it another way… Life, Charlie Brown, is like a deck chair."
“Like a what?”
“Have you ever been on a cruise ship? Passengers open up these canvas deck chairs so they can sit in the sun… Some people place their chairs facing the rear of the ship so they can see where they’ve been… Other people face their chairs forward… They want to see where they’re going! On the cruise ship of life, Charlie Brown, which way is your deck chair facing?”
"I’ve never been able to get one unfolded…”
“Be yourself. No one can say you’re doing it wrong.”

It has gospel selections and lots of discussion, punctuated with Peanuts comic strips.
