Wave your little hand and wisper so long dearie, you ain't gonna see me anymore ~ Hello Dolly!
My yearbook quote was "There's a lot, I am not, certain of..."-A Chorus Line
My senior quote in the yearbook was a few lines from Our Time from Merrily We Roll Along... But we also got to have a Top Ten quote if we were in the top ten of our senior class, and I decided it would be funny to have mine be:
"Who needs to read and write
When you can dance and sing?"
from the Nicest Kids in Town from Hairspray (which you mentioned is one of your fave musicals)... everyone thought it was really funny, because I was often made fun of for putting the drama department above academic responsibilities... but hey, it turned out okay in the end!
the lyrics in 'MOVE ON' in sondheim's SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE actually were what i used in a similar circumstance 876765 years ago. I'm paraphrasing but they go something like 'move on, stop worrying where you're going, you've gone.'
something like that.
the whole song is appropo, but those lyrics are the ones i remember.

I would suggest NOT using Rent- I have a feeling it will be even more overused than it had been prior to the movie (if that makes any sense)
I'm a senior this year- I already had to turn in my quote (I used something from Company: "Don't be afraid that it wont be perfect, the only thing to be afraid of really is that it wont be"...something along those lines)- on my senior page (my senior class is only around 120 students- so we can buy a whole page if we want) I have longer quotes from tons of different things- "Our Time," "You There in the Back Row," something from "Pippin"...just lots of random stuff mixed in with pictures of me in my dance recital costumes from age 4-16 (I'm 17 now, but don't have dance pictures from this year :-/ )
to love another person is to see the face of God.

i'm trying to come up with a senior quote and i saw this thread... great ideas, but does anyone have anymore??
thanks!
"Have I mentioned today how lucky I am to be in love with you?" Last 5 Years
"If I didn't believe in you, then here's where the travelogue ends. If I didn't believe in you, I wouldn't have stood before all of our friends and say this is the life i choose, this is the thing I can't bear to lose. Trip us or trap us but we refuse to fall. That's what I thought we agreed on, Cathy. If I didn't believe in you, I wouldn't have loved you at all." Last 5 Years
bump- I just found this board and thought it was cool and quotes are due for my yearbook soon
I second, "To love another person is to see the face of God."
"Whatever way our stories end, I know you'll have written mine by being my friend."-Wicked

"But what is truth? Not so easy to define. We both have truths...are yours the same as mine?" - Pontius Pilate, JCS
for my sernior year book quote i'm going to use
"To reach the unreachable star
Though you know it's impossibly high
to live with your heart striving upward
to a far unattainable sky!"
-Man of La Mancha
There's a whole in the world like a great black pit,
and its filled with people who are filled with ****,
and the vermon of the world inhabit it.
All these artsy-fartsy phrases. You want something short that people will remember and FORESHADOWS their lives to come. For that, there's only one that's perfect:
"Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night."
(Lauren Bacall in "Applause", doing Bette Davis in "All About Eve.")

I'm supposed to submit my senior quote sometime soon. Still picking between a few.
"I may be small but I've got giant plans to shine as brightly as the sun" -Little Women musical
"I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship" -Little Women book
"I'd rather be nine people's favorite thing than one hundred people's ninth favorite thing" -[title of show]
"If you know what you want, then you go and find and you get it"- Into the Woods
"As I'm going along, I carry with me promises that can't go wrong as I travel on my way" -Violet
This thread hasn't been updated in awhile though, anyone got any newer suggestions?
