I need a senior quote for the yearbook, which is due tomorrow.
I've been looking, but can't seem to find anything that really jumps out of me.
Anyone got anything?

Posted: 11/25/08 at 5:45pmJust reread the title. Not from musicals. Sorry.
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim

Even though it's from an animated musical, it's still a wonderful quote:
"The most impossible dream can come true if you believe it." - Cats Don't Dance
There was something else from the original French version of Les Miserables that went, Nous voulons faire la lumière/Malgré le masque de la nuit/Pour illuminer notre terre which translates to "We want to create a light/Despite the darkness of the night/In order to illuminate our land." It may be too long, but it's sort of a hopeful message.
If I think of any more I'll post them.
"I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes and dreamer of improbable dreams." - Doctor Who
"Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over, men recognize that the human race has been harshly treated but it has moved forward." - Les Miserables

I've been pondering this too, but I'm only a junior. I LOVE that Rocky Horror one. I'm writing that down...

"I carry with me promises that can't go wrong, as I travel on my way."
Violet
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Too bad everything I can think of comes from Legally Blonde... it just seems to fit so well.
Or how about something from "Find Your Grail" from Spamalot? (Me being me, I have to recommend "You can sing, you can dance, and you won't soil your pants!")

I ended up going with this one from Into the Woods:
"Oh, if life were made of moments,
Even now and then a bad one.
But if life were made of moments,
Then you'd never know you had one"
or something like that.

Posted: 11/30/08 at 5:37pmOh, that's absolutely great! And it's not one of those incredibly trite musical theatre quotes that you keep seeing, either.
