Alas, I had planned to think of an ingenious yearbook quote from day one, but now the fateful day of choosing yearbook quotes draws ever closer (tomorrow) and I have yet to dream a satisfactory one up! I draw upon the vast knowledge of this message board and its inhabitants to help me in my trial.
I MUST HAVE THE BEST YEARBOOK QUOTE EVER!!!

I ran a satirical underground newspaper at my school last year. One of the articles quoted a student as saying: [Censored by the administration.]
One guy used that as his yearbook quote. It still works outside the context of my school, though, I think.
Or quote a favourite songwriter or poet like I did.

On a personal level, Freaking Out is a process whereby an individual casts off outmoded and restricting standards of thinking, dress, and social etiquette in order to express CREATIVELY his relationship to his immediate environment and the social structure as a whole.

If classical music is the state of the art, then the arts are in a sad state.
Most people wouldn’t know good music if it came up and bit them in the ass.
The more BORING a child is, the more the parents, when showing off the child, receive adulation for being GOOD PARENTS – because they have a TAME CHILD-CREATURE in their house.
My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.

Hum, hum. Things are awful slow over here. Honestly, I’m disappointed in you guys. Barely 9 more hours to go and I still don’t have a yearbook quote which is “The Greatest”. Get it together, people! And this is not to disregard the efforts of those who have already posted, but we (okay, I) really need more!
Well, I have a list of quotes I’ve been pulling off of places, mostly so that my message board on my dorm room door looks good (right now it reads ‘Does life seem worthwhile to you? Here’s how to order!’). If you want it, just ask. Its a bit long to post here, and I really have no idea what they will let you get away with quote wise. My school wouldn’t even let us quote in the yearbook. We just had carefully edited ‘last will and testament’ quotes.

“Of all words, both tongue and pen,
the worst of all is : 'what might have been.”
