I don't remember it exactly, but doesn't Book say something like this:

"The destination's not important. How you get there's the worthier part."

I've always liked that one.

For graduation? How about:
If you can't do something smart, do something right.

You could always check out fortune-firefly (a list of firefly quotes, designed for the program "fortune" but human readable) at http://www.daughtersoftiresias.org/progs/firefly/. Go to fortune-firefly-1.9/ and get the file "firefly". Quotes are separated by a "%". There's something like 86k worth of quotes in there. :)

Gorramit! Stole my quote...

Instead of inspiring you could just go with confusing. Something like, "I've added cussing and hurling about things to my resume" or "I was gonna get me a ear".

Here are a few Serenity quotes that came to mind. Some might work, some might just be weird. Pick and choose.

Select to view spoiler:


"Half of writing history is hiding the truth."

"You guys always bring me the very best violence."

"This is what I do, darlin'. This is what I do."

"Let's be bad guys."

"I aim to misbehave."

"When your quarry goes to ground, leave no ground to go to."

"No power in the verse can stop me"

Since it's for graduation: "I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabudance of schooling."

and because I have a sick and twisted since of humor: "They'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skin into their clothing and if we're very very lucky they'll do it in that order."

I gotta go with Hell's Kitten or InevitableBetrayal.


Here's a few from each of them that i would think fun in a yearbook:

Who's flying this thing? Oh right, that would be me. --Wash

I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schoolin', so why don't we just ignore each other 'til we go away. --Mal

Let's be bad guys. --Jayne

Little soul, big world. Eat, sleep, and eat. --River

No power in the 'verse can stop me. --Kaylee/River

If I'm gonna wear a dress, I want something with some slink. -- Zoe

'Cause how you get there is the worthier part. -- Book

It wasn't entirely a disaster. -- Inara

This must be what it feels like to go crazy. --Simon

If I mess up, it's not like you can yell at me. -- Kaylee

Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint. -- Mal
