How about:

"It was a dark and stormy night, as wet and miserable as a cat that has been drenched by a neighbour's hosepipe because it keeps trespassing in said neighbour's garden."

or

"Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who had been imprisoned by a cruel witch inside a poorly written story."

or how about

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a reader in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a book that does not start with such boring, cliched openings."
Live well. Learn lots. Question everything.

So, like, yeah, this story is totally about *gives away the whole plot of the story in one line*. I didn't actually write anything beyond that, so...that's the end, I guess?
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.

When I looked around, Richard was standing on the cabinet, flapping his wings like a big bat and making funny buzzing noises.

Let me tell you about the possibly cancerous mole I had removed yesterday!

Darkness penetrated the mind of Dante Wolfsblood as he saw a tall, pale, dark-haired man in the mirror.
Und so lang du das nicht hast
Dieses: Stirb und Werde!
Bist du nur ein trüber Gast
Auf der dunklen Erde

(And as long as you don't have
This: Die and become!
You are only a gloomy guest
On the dark Earth)

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Sometimes you just can't win them all, and Johnny knew he could never win the heart of his sweetest rose, Vivian.

I inhale memes for a living.

Behold the worst opening line ever ^^
