What are some good, ORIGINAL senior quotes?

Question

I don't want ones I've seen a million times before, like, "before you judge someone walk a mile in their shoes," or "I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it," etc. If you can think of any really original ones that not many people use, that'd be great. They could be funny or deep or said by a celebrity or famous writer or whatever, as long as they're original. Thank you!

Answer 1

"There was once a man who jumped off the Golden Gate bridge to commit suicide. The next day, when his psychiatrist went to his apartment, he found a note on the counter. It read: "Dear diary, I am going to the bridge today. On the way there, if anyone smiles at me, I am not going to jump. I will turn around and come right back here. But if no one smiles at me, I will jump." Well, this man jumped. Out of the hundreds of people that he passed that morning, no one smiled at him."

I don;t know it that's what you wanted, but I've always liked that quote. Pretty sure it's original, too.

I don't know who said it.

From the Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
