Yearbook quotes
 

I found a really interesting article that'll appear in today's Honolulu Advertiser...you can read it here:

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/ar.../il/il01a.html

I just thought it was cool to see how quotes change over the years.

I thought it was appropriate how the author of the article used the year 1997 for some of his examples...it's the year I graduated! If you remember your yearbook quote, feel free to post it here!!!

Here's some of the examples he used:

**If I had my way, I would've had the Surfer quote from 1997, but because Administration at the Academy was anal and a half, I had to "tone it down a little" (even though I was Senior section editor of the yearbook). I ended up settling for:

"In this great future, we can't forget our past."--Bob Marley

My favorite yearbook quote is the one from Winnie Cooper to Kevin Arnold..."Have a neat summer!"

Some of these are great! :)

Here are my yearbook quotes:

High school (1993): Make the most of an uncertain future. - Star Trek

College (1997): There must have been a moment at the beginning when we could have said no. Somehow we missed it. Well, we'll know better next time. - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Re: Yearbook quotes
 

ACK! This is killing me! What movie is that from?? It's on the tip of my tongue - someone help me!

my quote was never actually posted b/c they only posted quotes for the kids that won this certain award b/c my school was ghetto..but the quote i had put down(they made us all do it just in case) was:

"there is a road, no simple highway between the dawn and the dark of night, and if you go no one may follow..that path is for your steps alone"- grateful dead

this was when i was a little hippie :)

Re: Re: Yearbook quotes
 

Isn't it Jack Nicholson? But is it "Batman", or something else? I think it's Batman, after he kills Bruce Wayne's parents...doesn't he say that? I could be wrong, so don't yell at me... :p

Re: Re: Re: Yearbook quotes
 

It is from Batman. Like an idiotm I did a search on Google because that line had me and my co-workers wondering all day!

I adore that movie! Tim Roth was great as....whichever one he was. ;)


My quote was stolen from Lily Tomlin (I think):

Why is it, when we talk to God, we're said to be praying; but, when God talks to us, we're schizophrenic?
