From ThinkExist:
“Life is a yo-yo, and mankind ties knots in the string”
“I don't think we're going to get a yo-yo. We're going to get a first-rate chairman.”
Lyle Gramley quotes
“By having a rules system in place they avoid that yo-yo.”
Joydeep Mukherji quotes
“We realize we need to do this right. We don't want to add another negative experience to these kids because being a teenager is hard enough. The last thing we want to do is be like a yo-yo.”
Dan Storck quotes
(see first link for more of this stuff!)
From Bartlett's:
QUOTATION: Initially, between the trees, he caught sight of whirling, jumping bodies. Heya-hey-heya. Someone climbing. Rocks pitched after a board; and on the river, tilting patches of reflection. Heya-fulla-heya-heya. Boys were sliding down the bank on their buttocks, roughing the scaly sand. They sailed a can lid on the water where at first it turned, floating, then sank, burning like a mirror. Hiyah-smilah. Hee-mee? Coltch. Skirts rose slowly, slowly subsided. A parasol flew open with a snap. Or-rawk. Gah. Houf. Half buried in the shingle, a deep red brick was then awash. Yo-yo giggy. Teetoo Sheek? Num! Lissa-lissa. A willow leaned out, trailing its leaves in the water.

“Reverend Jethro Furber” watches townsfolk at play on a Sunday.
A totally different interpretation, huh!

Sex is like a yoyo
it comes and goes...
Sometimes it can take a while.
But it always ends in a mess or it comes way too fast...

Fozzie: What do you call a yo-yo that goes down but won't come up? A yo. Wokka wokka wokka.
Rocky : You hang out with smart people, you get smart friends. You hang out with yo-yo's, you get yo-yo friends. You see, simple mathematics
