“When there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth”.
I wish it could have been, “So long, and thanks for all the fish”, but it hadn’t been written yet.
“I told you so.”
Some Jethro Tull song lyric or other. I honestly thought I was being original and clever by quoting a modern popular musical lyricist, rather than some serious literary work. Boy, was I clueless!
We got half a page to do whatever we wanted - some didn’t even have pictures. A photographer friend just took a candid shot of me, and then added a few shots of me I various plays I was in. No verbiage.
No quotes in our yearbook, just photos.
“I still haven’t found what I’m looking for”
It was the 80s, what can I say.
Shoulda gone with it regardless.
“All the world’s a stage, but the play is badly cast.” It was from an H.G. Wells story (don’t recall the name of it).
At the time, I felt I was being forced into doing things I didn’t want to do and had no control over my life. Teenage nonsense, of course.
“If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.”
Interestingly, 40 years later, my schnoodle currently has a bad case of fleas, and some are making their way onto me. Kinda wish I chose a better prophesy to be correct about.
If I remember correctly, it was a line from a Led Zeppelin song, though I’m not sure which one. I know that I attributed it to a classmate, rather than Messrs. Page & Plant, as an in-joke.
I had a five-letter block cipher:

I lost the key, however, and I can’t remember what it actually said.
