"Still waiting to be an 'are'..."

"I'd rather be a could be if I can't be an are, because a could be is a may be 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 been was once an are."

-I took this from my Quotes notebook, but have no clue where I stole this piece of wisdom from (sorry!)
