What's the most inspiring quotation you've seen in a subway (or inside a train)?
Have you ever read anything that's really interesting while riding a train and suddenly the quote or line (could be vandalism) felt right for the situation you're in?
mine is: "the road we travel on is dark but God's guiding light will never fail us". I saw this during a time when I was doubting myself and my faith. It was very timely and great.
"Get Goetz before he gets you"...NYC subway vandalism...this of course was referring to the NYC subway vigilante Bernhard Goetz. Incidentally, I decided to inquire about a conceal carry license in NYS - However after much research, I quickly learned I was living in a draconian police state judging by the legal hoops you must jump through to even get a range only permit.

It was on a small local to local town train, out near the boondocks; a thoughtful reminder to passengers written on a legal bound notebook paper and taped on the wall. To paraphrase: "If you're reading this you are probably educated enough to read and comprehend our suggested procedures designed to insure for a safe and amicable trip while on this train - see placard below. Thank you, the Conductor. PS- if your fellow passengers cannot read this please just tell them igits I said to keep the hell to their dam seats until the next stoppy."
It did make laugh!
This wasn't about the situation I was in, but when I saw it I found it quite sweet, amusing and sad at the same time!
......... I couldn't believe it..... I was stood where "Kilroy" once stood........
