This bit of gory pessimism was the best I can come up with:

"Hope, whose whisper would have given balm to all my frenzied pains, spread her wings and soared to heaven. Went, and never returned again."

Now that I'm an ED deferral, and not likely to get into any of my other schools, this is starting to become reality.

I did a Deep Thought by Jack Handy for my senior quote. I didn't want to have a typical yearbook quote so here goes...

"When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it's not, mmmmmmm boy!"

(then just imagine a girl cheezing in the photo above the quote hehe)

That's odd...our senior quotes are quotes that the student actually says. Anywho, I think mine will be:

"Who're those idiots playing football on the marching band field?" (Superior band and pathetic football team, in case you're wondering.)

Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. - Einstein

I'm in Senior Counsil and we (or should I exclude myself) got to choose our senior quote

And I don't remember it.

As for individual quotes for the yearbook (which we just started doing this year!) mine is:
"Avoid strangers by introducing yourself"
