QUOTE PROMPTS#1 PREWRITES ALLOWED

Okay so im going to put a range of quotes here and you choose one.


TAKEN[1]I spend my nights dead face down on my floor. But the drugs aren't really working anymore. The nights are mostly just depressed. From staring at my open chest. I'm bleeding & I'm heartless, but I'm yours. & I'm scratching down every blurry scene on the mattress where you used to sleep && dream. I'd rather chew on broken glass. Than keep on living in the past. Wasting time on words I know you don't mean.

TAKEN[2]Cinderella walked on broken glass,Sleeping Beauty let a whole Lifetime pass,Belle fell in love with a hideous beast,Pocahontas risked her life for a feast,Jasmine could have had anyone instead she chose a poor man, &Ariel walked on land all for love & all for life-- it was all about blood, sweat, & tears --LOVE is about Facing your Biggest fears.

[3]Fate is an elegant, cold-hearted whore She loves salting my wounds Yes, she enjoys nothing more I bleed confidence from deep within my guts now I'm the queen of this pity party With my jewel-encrusted crown.

Note:You can use either "queen" or "king"

[4]You are the teeth and lungs biting back and breathing in cracked like a frozen moon the heat lamp seeps into your pores this is your interrogation your fingerprints betray your eyes died on your honeymoon she made such a lovely bride left the door unlocked for you the leeches took their turn deny.

TAKEN[5]Your alibi was painted by a blind politician inside your swollen eyes sleeps a genius buried by miscalculations.


TAKEN[6]Some people are easy to get over,they only take a week or two,but sooner or later, you'll find the one,who has changed everything about you,and no matter how hard you try,you can't find the words to say goodbye.
--The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen

[7]I'm afraid of not having enough time.Not enough time to understand people,how they really are,or how to be understood myself.I'm afraid of quick judgements & mistakes that everybody makes.You can't fix them without time.I'm afraid of seeing snapshots instead of movies.-- TheSisterhoodoftheTravelingPants

[8]
People are often unreasonable, illogical, & self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of being selfish & having ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends & true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you; be honest anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway. If you find serenity & happiness, they may be jealous; be happyanyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway. Give the world the best you have & it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between only you; it was never between you & them anyway.


[9]I have this theory that the more important and intimate the emotion, the fewer the words are required to express it. For instance, in dating, "Will you go out with me?" Six words. "I think I care for you." Five words. "You matter to me." Four words. "I love you." Three words. "Marry me." Two words. So what's left? What's the most important and intimate word you can ever say to somebody? It's "goodbye."

TAKEN[10]People don't change.They just find new ways to lie to you.You never get over it, but you get to where it doesn't bother you so much.-TheVirginSuicides

[11]What's worse, New wounds which are so horribly painful Or old wounds that should've healed Years ago, but never did?Maybe our old wounds teach us something
They remind us where we've been And what we've overcome They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future That's what we like to think But that's not the way it is, is it?Some things we just have to learn Over and over and over again --Grey's Anatomy

[12]If you live to be a hundred,I want to live to be a hundred minus one day,so I never have to live without you.-WinnieThePooh

[13]Love and electricity are one in the same, my dear... if you do not feel the jolt in your soul everytime a kiss is shared, a whisper is spoken, a touch is felt, then you're not really in love at all.

TAKEN[14]Love. Easy word to spell. Easy word to say.Most people throw around the word "love" like it's nothing.But it's definitely something. It's that "I can live without you, I just don't want to" kinda feeling that you get when you see that special someone.It's more than romance, more than the exchange of sweet words.It's the feeling of holding hands, soft kisses on the cheek,knowing that no matter what you're going through in life,no matter how you're feeling,that special someone will always be there to brighten your day,to know how to make you smile in their own special way.Don't throw the word "love" around like it's nothing, cause it's everything.Never tell someone you love them when you don't.Wait for that special someone, the one person that makes "love" what it is.

[15]Hugging is healthy.It helps the immune system, cures depression, reduces stress, and induces sleep.It's invigorating, rejuvenating, and has no unpleasant side effects. It's nothing less than a miracle drug. Hugging is all natural, It's organic, naturally sweet, has no artificial ingrediants,Environmentally friendly and 100% wholesome. Hugging is the ideal gift.Great for any occasion, fun to give and recieve, shows you care, comes with it's own wrapping paper.And of course, It's fully returnable.

[16]Take me under your wing tonight.Make me so perfect in your eyes Hold on cause itll be all right.You're not alone.So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day -Noah, The Notebook.

[17]let love rule

[18]For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don't want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it's everything.- Grey's Anatomy

TAKEN[19]The beauty of a woman is not
in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
^Audrey Hepburn^

TAKEN[20]Maybe you're just jaded from some nobody's unforgotten words.Maybe you're just faded; a little grey from every time that you've been hurt.Love and relationships,lying and backstabbing,cheating and getting hurt... I learned all of it too fast,to soon && too real.

[21]Your tongue is a rudder. it steers the whole ship. sends your words past your lips or keeps them safe behind your teeth. but the wrong words will strand you.

[22]&& When she sleeps, she hides her hands under the pillow so maybe she'll forget how badly she wants you to hold them.

[23]The bottle holds no answers His lips can only sway Chemicals imbalance Who needs them anyway? Desire is close at hand Her lips can only sway There's more to life than this Don't give yourself away.

TAKEN[24]Was there ever a place that you dreamed of ever since you were little? A place where the moment you heard about it you fell in love with it. A place that speaks to you. A place that you know will make all your dreams come true. A place that reaches to you, pulls you, beckons you, calls, you. A place that you know once you are there all your fears will dissapear. A place you know you belong. A place you can feel deep inside your heart. A place that you see in your dreams every night. A place where you know you won't be complete until you are there. This place is inside of you, such a big part of you, that you know it makes you who you are. You know you'll get there one day. You'll get to this place that you've dreamed of ever since you could remember. You have to. You have your dream, go and catch it. I have my dream world too. My dream place. A place where I will go. A place where I'll never again feel the heartache and pain that lives in the air here. My place. My dream. I'll make it.

TAKEN[25]Don’t even sit there, and call me “fake.” I express myself, I say exactly what im thinking, I’m not afraid to hurt peoples feelings, and I don’t apologize for saying what I feel. And if I’m not mistaken, that is what most people would call, being "Real"

[26]A true dancer isn't the one who gets the steps right away.Its the one who goes home,stands in front of the mirror, and practices for hours and finally, after her feet are bleeding,out of breath, and her whole body aching,she finally gets the step.


[27]You read ‘sorry, try again’ off the inside of a bottle cap.Story of your life.You never come first,You`re never the winner,You`re never the best. There`s always someone better.Maybe next time.You did your best.Atleast you tried.All things supposed to make you feel better.But it just reminds you that no matter How hard you tried; how you gave it your all,You failed.You`ll never be good enough for him.

[28]There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself,who knows she is capable of anything that she puts her mind to.There is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path,who isn't thrown off by obstacles along the way.There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences;who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and move on.

[29]At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world ;;some are running scared ;;some are coming home ;;some tell lies to make it through the day ;;otheres are just not facing the truth ;;some are evil men, at way with good ;;and some are good, struggling with evil ;;six billion people in the world six billion souls&& sometimes all you need is one. Peyton-OneTreeHill

[30]You cannot run away from weakness ;;you must fight it out or perish ;;and if that be so,why not now, && where you stand?-Lucas OneTreeHill

[31]When I'm older & my little girl asks me who my first love was.. I don't want to have to pull out an Old photo album.. I want to be able to Point across the room and say "He's sitting right over there".

[32]So this girl is pregnant & she was just telling us how she broke the news to her husband that the baby was going to be a girl & the first thing he says is aww.. boys are going to break her heart.

[33]Silence is the most powerful cry.

[34]Take your damn fairy tale endings and your hopes, dreams, & wishes and shove them up your ass.This is the real world,& that shit just doesn't cut it anymore.

[35]At the end of the day,all we want is to be close to somebody. so we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we have chosen those people we tend to stay close by. no matter how much we hurt them, or they hurt us,the people that are still with you at the end of the day are those worth keeping +GREY’S ANATOMY<3

I WILL ADD MORE LATER

[36]My stomach is in knots,my heart is beating. I have no clue what will happen next.My legs shake, and i look into the mirror.Myabe i never will be perfect.I wipe back the tears, and pull myself together.Write it out honey,you can write your dreams and wishes,you can write your fears.Sometimes, writing is all you have.

[37]Tears roll down her face, lining the egdes in a perfect ray.Her spark is gone,her dreams are over.She gave up on herself.

[38]And she cant breathe, Her eyes are full of tears,and runny eyeliner.They've been like that a lot lately,and nothing can stop it.Her family is going down the gutter, and her life is falling into pieces.

[39]She waited four years,just for a single call.She waited four years, just to hear from her brother.Think she's okay?No way boy, she's still trying to understand.She's still trying to deal with the fact that he doesnt want anything to do with her.

[40]I cant pull it together or clean up my act, at every second im getting attacked, everyone is showing all that ive lacked, i cant hold it up & ive had enough, i always seem to be getting pushed & shoved, i dont understand why im so unloved, this sad little girl in an angry world, cant do anything right, so all they do is fight, and all she can do is cry all night, she hopes she wont wake to see the light, her schedule is rushed & tight, she needs some help in her life, but if she asks she gets more strife, she dosnt know what to do so she picks up the knife, she cuts & bleeds & cuts some more, so many thoughts before she hits the floor, now her heart is bruised & her skin is tore....but at least she can't feel the pain anymore~

[41]Hidden pain, swollen eyes, slit up wrists, blackened thighs, covered up with so many lies, so she learned to deal, and forgot to feel, this pain so unreal, that she just can't heal, but you learn to forget, all the pain yet no schedule to set, no tears to cry, but still listen to lies, then when people ask about the black & blue, you know exactly what to do, "He just loses it occasionly", then bail him out with a big fee, & tell him come stay with me, but maybe one day you'll see that hes never gonna change baby-

[42]Hidden with perfection when i see my reflection is what i think,look like everything but what i am, polite, petite, and oo soo neat, this fake person i just cant defeat, but i guess its better to keep the act, that way he won't attack, so i hide my pain, and have nothing to gain, put on this smile so hes happy for awhile, but i can't help this pain i feel, because i don't feel like this part of me is real, i put this smile on when i feel like dying, because its how i deal, so u let me heal....

[43]Tears run down my face, as im full of disgrace, in this land of make believe, where someone else is in my place, a person unknown to me, someone i dont like to see, shes hidden o so well, in this make believe hell-

[44]Sometimes I think I have found the real me, the one that's who I want to be. I start out every morning as this girl. But as each person comes into my day, I begin to become what they want to be. And by the end of the day, i'm not even close to the girl I started out to be. Because through the day I f a d e d a w a y

[45]
I'm a cheat a liar a basketcase.I'll hurt you break your heart destroy love for you.I'll deceive you deny you tempt you.I am your bestfriend lover worst enemy.And I'll do it all to you in the way that makes you keep coming back.I am your everything.
