“So when I'm killed, don't wait for me,
Walking the dim corridor;
In Heaven or Hell, don't wait for me,
Or you must wait for evermore.
You'll find me buried, living-dead
In these verses that you've read.”

“You'll find another.'
God! Banish the thought. Why don't you tell me that 'if the girl had been worth having she'd have waited for you'? No, sir, the girl really worth having won't wait for anybody.”

“There is no good reason. Don't waste your life waiting for good reasons… You'll wait and wait.”

“But she's wrong about hell. You don't have to wait until you're dead to get there.”

“Don't cross me Scooby-Doo. I'm not an old man in a mask waiting to be thwarted by you meddling kids.”

“I still don't know what I was waiting for / A big love to fall down from the sky
Heaven must have sent you / To save me from the rapture”

“When I'm killed, don't think of me
Buried there in Cambrin Wood,
Nor as in Zion think of me
With the Intolerable Good.
And there's one thing that I know well,
I'm damned if I'll be damned to Hell!”

“You may have given me the breaks,
amended all my life's mistakes,
ooh, but wait a minute,
you don't own me.
You may be more than just a friend
on whose assistance I depend
ooh, but wait a minute,
you don't own me.”

“I'm killing time while I wait for life to shower me with meaning and happiness.”

“It bothered me that whatever was waiting wasn't waiting for me”
