I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is better to be a has-been than a never-was.
Remember, it's better to be a has-been than a never-was.
To be or not to be. That's not really a question.
One must not hope to be more than one can be.
If I was a girl again, I would like to be like my fans, I would like to be like Madonna.
No star is ever lost we once have seen, we always may be what we might have been.
I'd much rather have sat there and just been a fly on the wall, instead of having to smile at people. I'd rather have been a waitress. Just gone round and stared at people.
To be or not to be is not a question of compromise. Either you be or you don't be.
To be, or not to be, that is the question.
We always may be what we might have been.
