Q. Is a .sig really something you can suggest for others?
When it is not imposed by an employer, or used as a marketing tool, or as an aid to easing communication, it is usually employed by the individual as a way of expressing their persona. This is achieved by quoting a pithy message or poem that the individual feels represents them or gives an impression of their sensibilities.
It is something that needs to come from deep inside, something inspirational, something so exquisitely personal that it would take a special flash of insight for another to be able to suggest something appropriate.
So, despite his innocent openness, to conjure up a suitable epigraph for such a mercurial, multi-faceted and unpredictable individual such as SY01 would surely be a magnificent feat?
or as Mick Jagger (?) said "Life is what happens to you while you're planning your next move".
If Mick Jagger ever said that (and I acknowledge that you have a "(?)" to indicate your uncertainty), he was (as usual) nicking his best ideas from John Lennon: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans" (from the lyric to Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) on the album Double Fantasy, 1980
It's weird how that Wikipedia page seems to end up devoting more attention to Celine Dion for having done a cover of the song than it does to John for having created it - one assumes some assiduous C.D. fan has been busy, and also acquires further proof that Wikipedia is of dubious value in matters of popular culture

Lets be honest here, I'd rather have my mind filled with thoughts of Celine Dion than John Lennon, as talented as he was
