Lorde verse Walt Whitman, Senior quote help!!!
Hi guys! So my senior quote is due soon, and I'm stuck between two options: Walt Whitman or Lorde. My favorite quote of all time has been "Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes)" from Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself." I read that poem in AP Lang last year, and it has stuck with me ever since. It represents my journey with English, as I now want to minor in English, as well as my inner world and all the sides of me. It's deeply tied to my actual identity. My only concern is that it might be a little basic.
The other quote is "We told you this was melodrama" from the song "Sober II" by Lorde. I LOVE THIS QUOTE because it perfectly encapsulates high school and fully freezes the era. For me, high school was melodramatic, and it captures how adolescents make everything feel dramatic, huge, and thrilling. Plus, it's way more unique and just really cool! Also, Lorde is one of my favorite artists.
