What's that one snack that can instantly cheer just about everybody up? Well, as these quotes about brownies for National Brownie Day prove, it's... well, brownies! (Big shocker, I know). But seriously, who doesn't love a nice, warm brownie fresh out of the oven (especially when it's paired with an ice cold glass of milk)? OK, I've got to stop visualizing this, because it's about to make me drool.

If you didn't know, now you do: Dec. 8 marks National Brownie Day. So, what exactly does that mean? Well, I suppose that's really up to you: You can celebrate the day by baking up some homemade brownies for your best friends and closest family members, or you can spend it eating store-bought brownies on your couch in your underwear all night. Either way, I'm not judging, just so long as you do get some brownie goodness involved in your day.

In addition to your chocolate intake, make sure that you take in these delicious brownie day quotes as well. From Linda Sunshine and Charles M. Schulz to Audrey Hepburn and Regina Brett, these people know what they're talking about when it comes to brownies. Now get to baking, eating, and reading!
