Senior Quotes ideas?

#2
Try something from Quadrophenia. Angsty but intelligent.

I graduated HS in the 70s. Some of the better quotes I remember from my yearbook were;

I like to party.

Sound is the displacement of vibration.

and the timeless,
Big cats can be dangerous, but a little pussy never hurt anybody.

Dont you dare put "YOLO". There were so many seniors that did that in my class I just wanted to monkey slap somebody.

On another note there were some pretty good ones. Google Jimi Hendrix quotes or something. Theres some deep stuff there. I personally used something that kept me going through high school which was "Tough times never last, but tough people do". Again though, that was just me.

Also, consider googling Courage Wolf. Just sayin.

Music related? Let's give it a try:

You've got to be tight to play loose.
There are times to take staying alive seriously, such as when the city's breaking and the people are shaking and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Why dress up to play for Stevie Wonder?

Not music related but here's an old Chinese adage I like:

The man who asks is a fool for five minutes; the man who doesn't ask is a fool forever.

A young Russian adage:
Be a good person and the rest will come to you.

Some of my favorites:

If music be the food of love, play on. ~Shakespeare

If a composer could say what he had to say in words, he would not bother trying to say it in music. ~Gustav Mahler

Without music, life would be a mistake. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosphy. ~Beethoven

And the one I used in my senior quote about a bajillion years ago.....

It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony. ~Benjamin Britten

"I'm the one who's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life.......... the way I want to" That'd be Hendrix BTW. My buddy Dave really used to like that one.

Great Jimi quote. I like this one too:

"I used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me. I take my spirit and I crash my mirrors, now the whole world is here for me to see."
