Question by B.: What are some good quotes for my senior quote?
I’m graduating this year, and for the senior section in the yearbook, we’re having quotes underneath of senior portraits. I don’t know what quote to pick though! It’s something I’m going to remembered by for the rest of my life, whenever someone looks back at the yearbook. I want something original and inspirational, yet humorous.
Any ideas?

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.” — Chris McCandless

No, it isn’t. Does anyone say what’s in President Obama’s yearbook?
You’ll be remembered in your life by your deeds and achievements – good or bad – not by a quote that some school ritual pressured you into finding. You’re from a nation that professes to value freedom – so be original and opt out of the system. What will they do? – kill you or refuse to graduate you if you don’t produce a quote?
