Favorite Line You've Ever Written

I don't know why, but these lines just popped into my head for a story I'm writing and I just loved the way they sounded:

She sheds a single tear for him, her love, and walks over him, stepping on his chest with one sharp heel, leaving an imprint in his shirt.

It was beautiful, but a cold beauty. Oh, so cold, almost as if the room was trying to freeze her heart to resemble an icicle. It was too late for that, though. Her heart was already compressed into a ball of hatred.

And on a slightly more funny note, a quote from a short story I never really got around to publishing:

Smirks were exchanged all around as The Man At The Head Of The Table stood up. "Gentlemen," he said triumphantly, "I believe we have an evil plan. A plan that is, indeed, chock full of wonderful evilities."

I look into the mirror now and just laugh as it continues to mock me, throwing meaningless words into face. Words that once used to slice into my skin, cutting me into little repulsive pieces.

-- Amaurotic.

In case you haven’t already figured it out, it’s you who makes gives me a swollen cardiac organ and skin like fire.

- Burst

My bet is on the whore with the matches. -- Bird's Nest

Your eyes could be bleeding from sex crimes and modern art, but no, Valerie. Blood just bleeds. -- Of Foreign Beds (poem)

"Hi! My name is Jack. Do you want to play Lego with me?"

From my one shot "Better Off As Lovers" I thought it would be a cute way to end the story and I think it fit so well

Sort of a chunk ...

She fell into my palm
like a perfectly ripened pear.
I, the Earth's ground
in the middle of winter;
Hampered by frost,
lacking of color and depth.
She, the October fruit
destined to blossom
had all
of her
potential corrupted
by my wintry impact.

From my poem-fic, I Cant Live, If Living Is Without You.

This was everything. This was all of Brendon, clear up to the wrist.
-When No One Was Looking, The World Heard Everything.

From a stream of consciousness I wrote:

Tap-tap spin drown boom bang fuck dead ouch so swim out to sea and bite me, bitch.

Gerard on the other hand, however, had different plans. He stood up from his seat, pocketed his carton of cigarettes in his breast pocket, and grabbed his car keys. He walked to the door, grabbed his jacket, and slung it over his broad shoulders. - From A Dismal Day For Love

I'm not sure what it is about that line, but I really like it. I guess it's the simplicity of it.

I was a stranger surrounded by strangers awaiting a stranger. - Chapter four: Aerials

There are so many I like.

For so many years, Woo Young had controlled Tae Yeon. But then, when he finally really needed it, she wouldn't listen to his pleas. - and we all fall down

She’s broken – so he fixes her in ways that she could have never imagine. They hold and laugh and fall together, into sleep, into love, into life. - living

"Love is the air," he said, taking in a deep breath after each word. "Love is the single most important thing that keeps us alive. People think we need air and water and food. But without love, we'd all just wither away into nothing. Broken, dead." - Sundays

He was captivated by her smile and by the simple way she made him feel. It was as if for the first time in his own life, Jong Min was finally feeling. - Plastic Hearts.

There was something about Arizona that took her over in a wave of furry and heat. - You Could Be Happy

From my new drabble, Baptized by Fire. I like these two lines.

The main thing that fascinated me about his friend was the lighter in his hand.
^ That's the line that started me writing it. I just thought of it when I was thinking back to a situation, I'd be caught 'staring' at his friend but it was because he was playing with a lighter.
and

It tries to destroy me, turn my skin to coal and destroy everything I love and believe in, it tries to beat me and it fails.
I'm not entirely sure why I like that line.

"The world is not mine to offer, but I would if it was for you."

I read it and hope that someday someone will love me the way he loves her.

The spark of reality added with a big dose of clarity struck through Ava like a powerful pimp slap.

"So, Alice, have you found your Wonderland yet?"

From The Best Part of 'Believe' Is The 'Lie.'

That's the scariest thing that I've ever thought of; that's something that no horror director of some snuff film could ever think up, could ever correctly portray because it's something that no one – not even that snuff director holed up in some one star motel doing coke and killing prostitutes – could ever figure out.

From Self-Asphyxiation.

^I'm posting one just so I can say

-

The silent eye of the camera has been there all along, gaping lidless from a bed of agitated dust on the end table, but just now do I notice its sad Oedipal stare, the ghostglow from the lunettes blessing it with a filmy, cobwebbed blindness. The bent stack of Polaroids rests next to it, brilliantly flammable. As Frank takes off his shirt and I glimpse the scars like constellations on his back, I cannot remember if I have touched them before.

- Capture.

He feels like a cannibal in the midst of a massacre.

-Mistakes.

Your other hand leaves my shoulder and I shiver; all the warmth has suddenly left my body and my bones are shaking and it hurts.

It's from my one shot Sleep and I'm just proud of it =)

“Excellent.” Immediately, his tongue sharpened and he was again the Andrew that I had known when we first met last year. “Now Louis, I know you, sometimes better than you know yourself and I know that, on the outside, you try to be a people pleaser. You try to make everyone happy for no reason other than the simple fact that you’re a nice person and you, like the majority of people, crave social acceptance. Now, you can continue living the way you are, you can continue to read your father’s textbooks and you can continue to pretend to remember the words to your mother’s precious hymns, and if you do, know that I won’t think differently of you. But, remember what I told you. If you try to please everyone, then eventually you will forget to please one very important person: yourself.” He paused for a minute and then sighed. “My offer still stands. Just know that before you make your descision.”

I just like the majority of Andrew's mini-speeches.
