Pick a song lyric, a line from a movie, a quote or a famous saying. You want people to get it so pick something recognizable, or something emotionally powerful. The more words the longer it will take to make it, so stick with something short. Try for between 6 and 12 words. If you need some ideas, try 100 Songs Best Lines, ThinkExistSongLyrics, RollingStoneBestLyrics , famous quotes, inspirational quotes, famous lines from movies or search on your own.
