In highschool, I actually forgot to submit a yearbook quote and/or dedication. Looking back on it, I’m glad I did.

I was looking through my senior yearbook and it’s full of so many cringe worthy quotes that I know I’d be kicking myself today for whatever I submitted. Why did everyone take it so seriously???

Look at your yearbook picture. Now look at mine. Now back to yours now back to mine. Unfortunately it’s not yours, but you could look like me. Look at the person next to you, now back to you. Viola, your picture is now me. I’m on the cover.

After High school it was:
” I’ll be mellow when I’m dead.”

After grad school it was:
“Theory and practice are the same in theory, but are different in practice.” – unknown

Today it would be:
” If I had my life to live over, I’d live over a deli. ” – Woody Allen?

This quote was an inside joke between me and my best friend who rescued me from near certain expultion from boarding school in the late ’70′s. The quote is from Danny O’Keefe (more famous for “Goodtime Charlie’s Got The Blues”).

“When I pull my pants down
You can barely hear them say:
Don’t go looking for trouble,
It will find you anyway”.

“I’m calm now…I’ve calmed down…but I’m shaking” I think it’s from a Jesus Lizard song. Gosh, I was so mysterious! Pft!

i used a line from a beatles song… i am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together/.. it worked well for the class of ’99 and i think i would still use it today…
if i had to choose another one i would use “you laugh because i’m different. i laugh because you’re ugly”

I remember perusing quotationspage.com for a good couple of hours before settling on this one:

“Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.”
-Brendan Gill

It is now my favorite quote because it perfectly describes my mentality.

“Someday we’ll look back on this and it will all seem funny” – Bruce Springsteen

And yes 1988 does seem funny now. So does what was important to your typical high school student.
