I'm on yearbook so that it won't suck this year. In order to do that I need everyone's help with cool quotes. Quotes about life.....leaving, friends, all that sappy crap that goes in yearbooks. My advisor already said I could put quotes around the edges of pages I design.........so basically, I need a TON of good quotes by good bands so our whole yearbook doesn't fall into the Sarah McLaughlin black hole.

Examples-
Perspective pries your once weighty eyes and gives you wings.

I depend on you, for the wings of life and the air that you move.

Although I'm far, I'm close to you within. All the time spent by your side is taken deep in me (yeah, I messed that one up........but you get the idea)

"Don't shave too high, you'll regret it later" - Chris Murphy (Sloan)

Guh. I used to have shitloads of musician quotes. I'll look some up for ya.

"Can't she be a little straight" weezer - pink triangle

"talking is just masturbating without the mess..."

It would be hella funny to see that in a yearbook.

Seinfeld understands life the best. And I'm not joking when I say that.

These are probably too long for what you are seeking, but still entertaining:

Friends are the DNA of society. They are the basic building blocks of life. If you have a couple of good ones, treasure them like gold. There's nothing better. Ever look at that MCI ad they have, 'Friends and Family'? Who do they mention first?

Life is truly a ride. We're all strapped in and no one can stop it. When the doctor slaps your behind, he's ripping your ticket and away you go. As you make each passage from youth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes you put your arms up and scream, sometimes you just hang on to that bar in front of you. But the ride is the thing. I think the most you can hope for at the end of life is that your hair's messed, you're out of breath and you didn't throw up.

According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Does that seem right? That means to the average person, if you have to go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.

I always did well on the essay questions. Just put everything you know on there, maybe you'll hit it. And then you'd get the paper back from the teacher and she's written just one word across the page, 'vague'. I thought 'vague' was kind of a vague thing to say. I'd write underneath it, 'unclear', and send it back. She'd return it to me, 'ambiguous'. I'd send it back to her, 'cloudy'. We're still corresponding to this day. Hazy, muddy...

As soon as you're born you start dying, so you might as well have a good time.
-Cake, "Sheep Go to Heaven"

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
-John Lennon, "Beautiful Boy"

why, what about :

"don't blame the chair. it's being the best chair it can be" - if ya don't know, don't ask.

Dammit, you beat me to it.

People only see what they are prepared to see." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies with in us."

Be nice and smile to everyone you meet. You don't know what they are going through, and they may need that smile. And treasure it.
-Christine M. Huppert

Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you reach your destiny.-Carl Schurz

ooh... here's on...



"and i wouldn't feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned"everyone likes that quote...
-BOB DYLAN!

How about "People can be made to believe anything if they want to believe it's true, or if they are afraid it's true." or better yet, "People are stupid."

That's written on our cafeteria wall. Just thought I'd let you all know.

I heard this on one of the late night talk shows

"You should wear with pride the scars on your skin, they're a map of the adventures and the places you've been."
