15 Words at Graduation

edited April 2008 in The Porch
I graduate college in a month, and we get to have up to 15 words of our choice read as we walk across the stage to get our diploma. Our choice is due by the end of the day today, and I think it would be cool to have mine be Pearl Jam related (subtly or not). It could be a lyric, a quote from one of the guys, anything.

The best I could come up so far is: "Drop the leash. We are young. Delight in our youth."

Any other ideas?

    We got to do this at our highschool, my suggestion is take like 8 or 9 friends and sit together and use the words to tell a story. It will be fucking epic and you will never forget it.

    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    If you're feeling very ballsy you can say this:

    You haven't taught anyone how to think or learn, but showed children how to repeat.

    CONservative governMENt

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    "All my rivals will see what I have in store,... my gun."

    ok JK

    "I'm questioning my education. Is my education who I am now?"

    "Like an ocean, in disguise, I don't live forever. You can't keep me here."

    "Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow...
    Goodbye for now."

    I used pretty much all of present tense for my yearbook quote... took up the entire block under my picture and i had to pay an extra 40 bucks to use it.

    That's awesome. I love that movie! Although I have no intention of marrying it.

    Along the same lines, when this person is up on stage they could say "Why don't you take a picture it'll last longer".
