ok so i'm bored at school and i've been wanting to do this for a while. there are a lot of great quotes (from books, people, songs, movies) out there and i want you to write about one, or more, you can enter as much as you want. there arent' many rules, just DON'T cuss if not necessary, NO erotica, and DON'T bash ppl or religion please. PUT THE QUOTE you chose in your authors note so i know. okay, done with boring stuff, pick a quote and get started.
1- When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
- Tecumseh
2-It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and the broken promises.
-Chief Joseph
3-So it took an eight-year-old child to bring 'em to their senses.... That proves something - that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human.
-Atticus in To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
4-I wanted to cry, but Greasers don't cry in front of strangers. Some of us never cry at all. Like Dally and Two-Bit and Tim Shepard--they forgot how at an early age.
-Pony Boy in The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
5-The clouds I can handle. But I can’t fight with an eclipse.
-Jacob Black in Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer
6-Don’t worry. You’re human—your memory is no more than a sieve. Time heals all wounds for your kind.
-Edward Cullen in New Moon by Stephanie Meyer (had to make it fair for all the Jacob haters out there)
7-Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
-Amelia Burr
8-The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.
-Charles Dubois
9-Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby, and I don't want to miss a thing.
'Cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby, and I don't want to miss a thing.
-Aerosmith-Dont Wanna Miss A Thing
10-She's calling out to You,
This is a call; this is a call out,
`Cause everytime I fall down,
I reach out to you
And I'm losing all control now,
And my hazard signs are all out,
I'm asking you, to show me what this life, is all about
-Thousand Foot Krutch- Call Out
11-Fake smiles can only hide your tears for so long.
-my friends favorit quote, idk who its by
12-This song was inspired by Cassie Bernall, the girl who was shot and killed in the Columbine Highschool shootings. She stood up for what she believed in and wasn't afraid to die for it. That really spoke to me, would you and I stand up for God if it meant death?
-Trevor McNevan, lead singer of TFK, talking about his song Rude Awakening. (its not on any CD incase you've never heard of it, you can find it on youtube though.)
13-The only light you will see is that from the fires of Hell!

I judge and I am just.
for i speak of the beast,
that lives in all of us.

15- We all end up dead. It's just a question of how, and why.
-William Wallice (Mel Gibson) in Braveheart
16- Just a flesh wound.
-The Black Knight (John Cleese) in Monty Python and the Holy Grail
17-Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
-Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) in Ferris Buellers Day Off
18-I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
-My Immortal by Evanescence
19- Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.
-Robert Frost
20- If you were God, I'd be atheist.
-Something one of my friends said at lunch, i liked it, so here it is.
21- How come those we like never notice us, and those we never notice like us?
-Something I came up with when I was bored.
22- There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.
-Linda Hogan
23- Remember when we'd
Stay up late and we'd talk all night
In a dark room lit by the tv light
Through all the hard times in my life
Those nights kept me alive
We'd listen to the radio play all night
Didn't want to go home to another fight
Through all the hard times in my life
Those nights kept me alive.
-Those Nights by Skillet
24- Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

-Indira Gandhi

Haha...I'm team Edward, but nobody can argue with the quote you chose for Jacob. That's one of his best lines and possibly one of the best lines in the series.
oh and p.s. I don't understand why people feel the need to hate one or the other, why can't we just like one more than the other one?
I'll try to enter this...my muse has been in hiding lately.
