Senior Quotes?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had some good ideas of quotes from theatre to use for senior yearbook pages. My friends and I have a couple ideas already, but I'm not committed to them, and I have a feeling there'd be some good ideas from this board. 

EDIT: Right now, I'm between:  

"No—it's supposed to hurt! That's how you know it meant something." Peter and the Starcatcher

"I'm not dead yet." Spamalot 

"I leave the room smiling." Great Comet

I only had to LOOK at a bus and ....... from the "Goodbye 12, Goodbye 13, Hello Love" number from A Chorus Line.

This is not from a particular show but Broadway adjacent, my favorite quote from a Broadway actor -

"Since it's impossible to know which period of my life is the middle, I've decided to have an ongoing crisis." - Alex Wyse

My personal favorite quote from any show ever is probably "I want that chubby communist girl off my show!" from Hairspray but that's obviously not relevant.

Sorry I have been completely useless.

I’m the editor in chief for my yearbook at school and I’ve found that senior quotes are more impactful when they’re shorter. But it’s whatever works for you. Here are some suggestions:

“Nothing’s gonna change if you don’t change it!” - 9 to 5

“Everyone deserves the chance to fly.” - Wicked

“You want a revolution. I want a revelation.” - Hamilton

“I’m past patiently waiting. I’m passionately smashing every exceptation; every action’s an act of creation. I’m laughing in the face of casualties and sorrow. For the first time, I’m thinking past tomorrow.” - Hamilton

“When I grow up, I’ll be brave enough to fight the creatures that you have to fight beneath the bed. “ - Matilda

“You are enough. You are so enough. It’s unbelievable how enough you are.” - Sierra Boggess

“I’ll go eat some breakfast and then I’ll change the world.” - Hairspray

“Still, you’re not alone. No one is alone.” - Into the Woods

My favorite yearbooks are the ones where captions are placed beneath every picture - it is much easier to read.

Try to avoid a yearbook layout that has the "Top Left, Middle Picture, Bottom Right" clusters of identification summaries.

OK, back to the Audio Visual Club bowling party.

Mine was "I may be small, but I've got giant plans to shine as brightly as the sun." from Little Women the musical.  10 years and I still like it as a senior quote.

I read this thread title as a place to collect quotes said by senior citizens in the middle of shows, like when I saw Significant Other and an old woman a few rows in front of me loudly said "SO I GUESS THEY ALL FOUND LOVE" when Jordan kisses that guy.

For my high school yearbook quote I did

"If that's what it is, then that's what it is, at least until Disney can rewrite it" 13 the musical

It's our time, breathe it in: worlds to change and worlds to win - Merrily We Roll Along

I got through all of last year, and I'm here! - Follies

Really, anyone one of Sondheim's lyrics would make a great quote.

I recently saw Merrily We Roll Along in Boston and there are some good lyrics from that show that is quite appropriate for a high school yearbook. 

You guys are so lucky you have senior quotes! My high school never had anything special for seniors in the yearbook.

I think I became obsessed with that show from that production.  I ended up seeing it 3 times.  The original production started with seniors graduating.
