Quotes

  1. No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

    (p. 1, The Haunting of Hill House)

    Jackson, Shirley. The Haunting of Hill House. 1959

  2. “Life, in all its imperfect variation, was nothing compared to the scale of nothingness that made up most of the known universe.”

    Shattered Destiny (loc 19537)

    Bell, Odette C. The Betrothed & Shattered Destiny. 2015
