poll now closed
The poll to select themes for our new prompt table challenge is now closed, and though it was pretty close, the winner was... (drum roll) Shakespeare Quotes! I'll get to work on a table and should have a post up by the end of the week.
Also if you'd like to suggest any particular quotes you might want to see included, please comment here. I can't guarantee I'll use everyone's if there's a lot/they're not suitable/whatever but you guys will be the ones writing the prompts, so it would be great to get your input!
Thank you!

- Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold. (Rosalind, Act i, Sc. iii)
- If thou remember’st not the slightest folly / That ever love did make thee run into, / Thou hast not lov’d. (Silvius, Act i, Sc. iv)
- Answer me in one word. (Rosalind, Act iii, Sc. ii)
- Neither rhyme nor reason can express how much. (Orlando, Act iii, Sc. ii)
(The first one is my fave but I thought the rest were quite good too!)

Boy do I love Shakespeare
My favourite play is a tie between A Midsummer Night's Dream and 12th Night, with Romeo and Juliet in close second - although I find the latter two slightly more quotable. Perhaps long sentences are not the best for prompts meant for a thousand words at most, but I'll offer some up in any case.
I tried to put this behind a cut to be polite. I really tried. But it wouldn't go, so I'm afraid... it's all out here. I'm deeply sorry.
HIPPOLYTA:
Four days will quickly steep themselves in night/ Four nights will quickly dream away the time
BENVOLIO:
I do but keep the peace: put up thy sword.
EGEUS:
With duty and desire we follow you.
DUKE ORSINO:
Give me now leave to leave thee.
VIOLA:
Good madam, let me see your face.
HELENA:
Never did mockers waste more idle breath.
JULIET:
It is an honour that I dream not of.
BENVOLIO:
Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste?
DEMETRIUS:
Do I entice you? do I speak you fair? / Or, rather, do I not in plainest truth?
OBERON:
Hast thou the flower there? Welcome, wanderer.
VIOLA:
With adorations, fertile tears / With groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire.
BENVOLIO:
Be ruled by me, forget to think of her.
ANTONIO:
If you will not murder me for my love, let me be your servant.
NURSE:
Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days.
ROMEO:
Is love a tender thing? it is too rough / Too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn.
SEBASTIAN:
I pray you, let us satisfy our eyes / With the memorials and the things of fame / That do renown this city.
LYSANDER:
I had no judgment when to her I swore.
Re: Boy do I love Shakespeare
I like this quote a lot; seconding that one.

(And no worries on the cut - cuts don't work in comments as they're primarily designed to stop your reading list being swallowed whole by really long entries. A long comment is not a problem here, so no need to apologize!)
Much Ado About Nothing quotes

"But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
For daws to peck at: I am not what I am."
"She lov'd me for the dangers I had pass'd,
And I lov'd her that she did pity them"
"I kissed thee ere I killed thee. No way but this,
Killing myself, to die upon a kiss."
"So will I turn her virtue into pitch,
And out of her own goodness make the net
That shall enmesh them all."
"This look of thine will hurl my soul from heaven."

For longer table-prompts, I recommend the sonnets that begin with how can my muse want subject to invent, the forward violet thus did I chide, let those who are in favour with their stars, if the dull substance of my flesh were thought, when in the chronicle of wasted time, and no longer mourn for me when I am dead. They are some of my favorites, and there are roughly 150 others on that website.
From Venus and Adonis:
There are a few quotes from plays that I like, too. From Katerina, in Taming of the Shrew near II.i.32, "I must dance bare-foot on her wedding day // And for your love to her lead apes in hell." I also really like V.ii.200-ish in Henry V, "mock me mercifully" and II.i.64-66 of Two Gentlemen of Verona, "If you love her, you cannot see her. // Why? // Because love is blind! O, that you had mine eyes."
