Charles Schulz: Cytaty po angielsku
As quoted in a profile at HarperCollins http://www.harpercollins.com/global_scripts/product_catalog/author_xml.asp?authorid=8773

“I never try to please a certain audience. I think that's disastrous.”
National Cartoonist Society talk, 1994 http://web.archive.org/web/20070416184458/http://www.planetcartoonist.com/editorial/success_charlesschulz.shtml
Kontekst: I never give my work to somebody else and say, "What do you think about that?" I just don't trust anybody. If I think it's funny, or if I think it's silly, I send it in anyway because I'm just trying to please myself. I never try to please a certain audience. I think that's disastrous. There's no way in the world you can anticipate what your reader is going to like or dislike.
