这句话当中的went能换成said或者是expressed吗？如果不可以又是为什么呢？谢谢帮忙

肯定是不行的， 原因有点难说清楚啊。说点自己的看法

1. express 表达， 一般是人表达某个东西， 不能用a quote做主语。
2. say / read 都具有 上面写着，上面的内容是 什么的意思
但没见过 可以跟 something like的
3. as the saying goes, the song goes like this...中的go用的还是比较灵活的

尽我所能，希望对你有点用！

when i was 17, i read a quote that went something like: "if you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right." it made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, i have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "if today were the last day of my life, would i want to do what i am about to do today?" and whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in a row, i know i need to change something. remembering that i’ll be dead soon is the most important tool i’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. remembering that you are going to die is the best way i know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. you are already naked. there is no reason not to follow your heart. about a year ago i was diagnosed with cancer. i had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. i didn’t even know what a pancreas was. the doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that i should expect to live no longer than three to six months. my doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s code for prepare to die. it means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. it means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. it means to say your goodbyes.
