Well, guys, its time for me to submit my senior quote.
Mustn’t be distasteful, but your suggestions can be serious or lighthearted.
Thanks!

“I have discovered a truly remarkable proof of this proposition, which this senior quote is too small to contain.”
Here’s a previous thread.
This was my contribution. It’s by J. Michael Straczynski, from his excellent sf series “Babylon 5” - “The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of the future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.”
Mine was…
“Well behaved woman rarely make history” - not so appropriate if you’re not a woman.
“Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music.” --George Carlin
I submit:
“I’m glad I’m gone. This place sucked.”
Old joke, but…
Help help! I’m trapped in a yearbook factory!
My senior quote was just a random sampling of Latin (or Latin-sounding) words arranged in a believable configuration. Then, whenever anyone asked what it meant, I could tell them whatever I wanted.
A bad analogy is like a pair of pants.
Mine was “We are the music-makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams.”
Also good: Quidquid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
I think mine was something silly like
Remember that time at that place, yea, good times.
It was either that or
Always remember to never forget
Strangely enough I can’t remember which one it was :wally
Go with some Latin:
“Cacare Necessit Sum” - “I need to take a cr*p” but don’t tell them that, of course!
The battle is not always to the strong nor the race to the swift, but that’s the way to bet it.
“The eagle may soar, but the weasel is never sucked into a jet engine”
-from the Deep Thoughts guy on SNL
“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
Here’s two from Frank Herbert:
“It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult.”
“The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.”
Or, you could twist up some Joseph Heller:
“I’m going to live forever or die trying.”
I didn’t have a senior quote of my own, but I believe I inspired several people who graduated after me to use quotes from beloved children’s books. I say “believe” because I think I was the one who suggested the idea to one of them, but it may have been someone else.
The quotes were “He left a very hungry moose and a deserving porcupine” from Harold & the Purple Crayon and “Luckily he kept his wits about him–and his purple crayon” from the same book. A year after that my sister’s quote was “I can’t leave here until I find a monkey to take my place” -Carl Sandburg (from the Rutabaga stories).
I used this one. I’m into old music, what can I say.
“A song not for now you need not put away
A tune for the Was can be sung for Today
The notes of the Does-not will sound as the Does
Today you can sing for the Will-be that was.”
–Walt (Pogo) Kelly
