What do you think of this quote?

Question

I think I might use it for my senior yearbook quote.

"Seems like yesterday, seems like forever, all at the same time."
-Peter Jennings

Answer 1

The quote is awesome, but don't you want to make your own to be remembered by? That is how we did it when I was in high school. It is more fun that way and people can remember the words that were said by you. It is fun thinking of your own

mine was "Procrastination is a full-time job"

Answer 2

Every quote gets its thorough value in the proper (preferably...best) context. As it looks to me, the quote is wonderfully fit for a phase transition, for instance a great discovery , revelation of some deeper truth (let's say the definitive proof of the Quantum Mechanics Theory, for instance...), or even a precious (lost) higher state (higher phase-like...) of mind, or consciousness -- like a great love you've lost, or a great passion you've changed, lost, given up or, on the contrary, have gained, and suddenly enriched... spiritually, ... for good. The reason, as I see it, is that while "like yesterday" suggests "a Part", something you have departed from, leaving it in a more and more remote past..., "like forever", on the other hand, suggests the Absolute, the Whole. One of the few things I can imagine (which would overlap the part and the whole) is the phase transition, a psychological one, let's say, where the new, strikingly better or worse phase belongs to the supposed eternity of the ... remembering present("forever"), while the old phase is still remembered, though dimming its memory radiance in time. A surviving passenger of Titanic, for instance, after seeing the spectacle of hundreds of victims drauning, would be quite convincing when uttering " like yesterday, like forever" (...in my memory..., as one would feel it) -- and such strong life (phase) changing events will always be woven like this in one's memory..., as part and whole (eternity-like) together
