Just put raw_input() in a loop and check for something.  Actually a blank line 
would probably work best in that case.  Not tested, but you will get the idea:

lines = list()
print 'Enter your text (empty line to quit)'
while 1:
     line = raw_input('')
     if line.strip() == '':
         break

     lines.append(line)
