Okay, Here's 20 quotes! Take inspiration from one of them and WRITE!
"Computers spark like flares... I can see them, but they don't touch me. (touch me) Please someone, teach me how to swim. Please, don't let me drown."-Thursday
"Why cant I steer the ship before it hits the storm? Ive fallen to the sea, but still I swim for shore"-Skid Row
"I've screamed until my veins collapsed, I've waited as my time's elapsed, Now all I do is live with so much fate. I've wished for this, I've bitched at that, I've left behind this little fact--- You cannot kill what you did not create. I've gotta say what I've gotta say, And then I swear I'll go away, But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise"-Slipknot
"Why do you look at me, when you hate me? Why should I look at you, when you make me hate you too? I sense a smell of retribution in the air. I don't even understand why the fuck you even care! And I don't need your jealousy, Why drag me down in your misery? And when you stare don't you think I feel it, But I'm gonna deal it back to you in spades!"-Guns N' Roses
"This won't mean a thing come tomorrow, And that's exactly how I'll make it seem, 'Cause I'm still not sleeping, Thinking I've crawled home from worse than this, So please, please, I'm running out of sympathy! And I never said I'd take this lying down..."-Taking Back Sunday
"What I if could go to sleep for days? would you count the hours, or would your restlessness consume fading memories of me?"-AFI
"But it's not true, I DON'T NEED YOU, Don't waste your time, and don't waste mine! I'm not your friend, I won't soothe your soul, And in the end you're all DEAD to me...."-Avenged Sevenfold
"My, my what a mess we've made, Of our pretty little heads these days... It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently. Best wishes have been made for you, You never had no say it's true... You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen..."-The Alkaline Trio
"Bite my tongue, right now the perfect time, Do anything to make her happy, Even if it means my being miserable, As long as she's loving life"-Chiodos
"Even if I say, It'll be alright, Still I hear you say, You want to end your life... Now and again we try, To just stay alive... Maybe we'll turn it all around, 'Cause it's not too late... It's NEVER too late!"-Three Days Grace
"You wont be leaving my arms, ever. I promise you that. Even if you want me to let go, honey, even if you say the things that make me want to lose you "-Chiodos
"To be this young, I'm oh so scared, I wanna LIVE, I wanna LOVE... But it's a long hard road out of hell"-Marilyn Manson
"I bet you're waiting for a long sob story of how I was mistreated again... but NO, I wasn't built that way, I was strong and desperately brave! And I didn't mean to scare ya..."-Blue October
"Please don't take me away from this place, just leave me here in my dreams... everything's perfect, I don't want to wake up, I just want to lie next to you in this bed, hear your heart beating... I need this feeling to last me forever and ever, oh God, don't let it end."-The Smashup
"Do you wonder what it's like, living in a permanent imagination?... Sleeping to escape reality, but you like it like that"-Orgy
Angels with silver wings shouldn't know suffering... I wish I could take the pain for you"-Depeche Mode
"I'm ready to take that big step, start tearing off the layers I put up; or is it too late to be anything but what I am? Identify the problem, Now let's see if we can fix anything."-Bayside
"How could it not be right, if it is done with love?"-Susan Atkins (This quote is from the song "Sadie" by the Alkaline Trio)
"We all begin to burn... Autumn's flame dances in my eyes"-A.F.I.
"My first act of treason was picking up a pen, My first act of love was finding myself again..."-Otep
Okay, I thought you all would like some more choices here, so I'm putting five more quotes to choose from:
"My misery has been formulated into an equation of nein... My sanity wrote a suicide note, but One of us is illiterate... And the other is blind"-Otep
"Intending to burn, pretending to fight it, Everyone learns faster on fire, Things took a turn, lost all desire"-The Alkaline Trio
"Don't lift me up, with your STRONG intent on dropping me back down! Are you like this--- afraid to be yourself?"-Bayside
"So is that what you call a getaway? Well tell me what you got away with, 'cause you left the frays from the ties you severed when you say BEST FRIENDS MEANS FRIENDS FOREVER"- Brand New
"Watch me fault her, You're living like a disaster... She said kill me faster, with strawberry gashes all over"-Jack off Jill

it always dissapoints me when I see a "quotes" contest and find that it's nothing more than lyrics from songs. People should start calling them "lyric inspired contests" or something of the sort.
Hrmph.

oh my god, this is the never ending contest, lol

-
I know, I'm keeping it open until I get 25 entries.

damn!
Can I PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE enter a poem? I just saw it today at noon.

"Intending to burn, pretending to fight it, Everyone learns faster on fire, Things took a turn, lost all desire"\
-The Alkaline Trio
I'm stealing that quote ^^ - what song is it from by the way?
And if I do write for it, I hope I'm happy with it lol

Yeah I really like that quote too, that's why I put it in the contest! It's from the song "Burn" by the Alkaline Trio.
