Hey kids! Drop everything to help with my inconsequential dilemma!
I'm a senior in my school's specialty center, and at the end of the year we all make a senior profile or a name to that effect. They always have a quote that "inspires" us and I'm having trouble narrowing it down. Help! (You know I need somebody)

“I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.”
-Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson), “The Departed”

“Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.”
-George Bernard Shaw

“Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat."
-John Lehman

“You’d better live every day of your life like it’s your last, because one day you’re going to be right.”
-Ray Charles

“Nobody’s perfect. Well, there was this one guy, but we killed him.”
-Anonymous

“I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.”
-Bill Hicks

“When I was young, I used to read about the decline of Western civilization, and I decided it was something I would like to make a contribution to.”
-George Carlin

“The appearance of law must be upheld, especially when it’s being broken.”
-Boss Tweed (Jim Broadbent) in “Gangs of New York”

(I know they wouldn't let me use this one, but I love the way it looks)"I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one."
-Oscar Wilde
