The holidays just wouldn’t be the same without those Charlie Brown classics, so today we’re celebrating our ten favorite quotes from the wonderfully philosophical Charles M. Schulz’s It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
Linus: Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere. He’s gotta pick this one. He’s got to. I don’t see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there’s not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see.”
Charlie Brown: I got a rock.
Linus: Have you come to sing pumpkin carols?
Linus: He’ll come here because I have the most sincere pumpkin patch and he respects sincerity.
Charlie Brown: We’re obviously separated by denominational differences.
Linus: [writing to the Great Pumpkin] You must get discouraged because more people believe in Santa Claus than in you. Well, let’s face it; Santa Claus has had more publicity, but being #2, perhaps you try harder.
Linus: This is the time of year to write to the Great Pumpkin. On Halloween night, the Great Pumpkin rises out of his pumpkin patch and flies through the air with his bag of toys for all the children!
Lucy Van Pelt: A person should always choose a costume which is in direct contrast to her own personality.
Linus: Never jump into a pile of leaves with a wet sucker.
Charlie Brown: Well, another Halloween has come and gone.
