“H--‐how did we get in the water?”
“You were burning. I needed to do something to cool you. As soon as I carried you in, though, you started flailing around. Scared me,” he added on a whisper.
That explained the dream. But it didn’t change what she knew was coming. She pressed her face against his neck and drew in the sweet scent of his skin. Loved the rasp of his stubbly cheek against her flesh.
“Why do I get the feeling you’re holding something back?” he asked softly.
Because he was smart. And because even in the short amount of time they’d been together, he’d learned more about her than anyone else in her entire life. “I believe in signs. I never did before but…I dreamed about you.”
“You did?”
She nodded. “I think I have for a while, I just…I didn’t know it was you. But now…”
She swallowed hard. “I should have waited for you. It’s the biggest regret I have. I’m sorry I didn’t wait.”

“H is for Hardware store: I'd rather go to the hardware store than the opera. And I like the opera.”
“H Mart is a supermarket chain that specializes in Asian food. The H stands for han ah reum, a Korean phrase that roughly translates to "one arm full of groceries." H Mart is where parachute kids flock to find the brand of instant noodles that reminds them of home. It's where Korean families buy rice cakes to make tteokguk, the beef and rice cake soup that brings in the New Year. It's the only place where you can find a giant vat of peeled garlic, because it's the only place that truly understands how much garlic you'll need for the kind of food your people eat. H Mart is freedom from the single-aisle "ethnic" section in regular grocery stores.”

“H.P. Lovecraft is a self-admitted early influence on Ligotti’s work. However, in a kind of metaphysical horror story of its own, Ligotti early on subsumed Lovecraft and left his dry husk behind, having taken what sustenance he needed for his own devices. (Most other writers are, by contrast, consumed by Lovecraft when they attempt to devour him.)”

“H stopped suddenly at the sight of the old man's face. "Don't!" wheezed the voice. Take the path as it comes to you, my son, and look not in envy toward him who walks above you nor in tenderness to him who walks below. Happiness lies not in understanding but in accepting. I used to ask questions too, when I was young, and I know.”

“H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public. This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world.”
“H. G. Wells was not the only one to mention Churchill and Hitler in the same breath: "Churchill and Hitler are striving to change the nature of their respective countrymen by forcing and hammering violent methods on them. Man may be suppressed in this manner but he cannot be changed. Ahimsa [non-violence in the Hindu tradition], on the other hand, can change human nature and sooner than men like Churchill and Hitler."”
“H. L Mencken's Dictionary of the American Language supplies a long list of slang terms for being drunk, but the Irish are no slouches, either. They're spannered, rat-arsed, cabbaged, and hammered; ruined, legless, scorched, and blottoed; or simply trolleyed or sloshed. In Kerry, you're said to be flamin'; in Waterford, you're in the horrors; and in Cavan, you've gone baloobas, a tough one to wrap your tongue around if you ARE baloobas. In Donegal, you're steamin', while the afflicted in Limerick are out of their tree.”
“H. L. Mencken famously said that 'every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.' By now, however, I am no longer ashamed, because I do not identify with the government under which I live. Rather, I view it as a criminal organization that without provocation has chosen to make war on my just rights-not only mine, of course, but everyone's. Although this vile enterprise is my problem, because it robs and bullies me relentlessly and without mercy, it is not my responsibility: the nail is not the hammer.”

“H. L. Mencken once said that nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. That is not true. I have come to believe that it pays to make all your layouts project a feeling of good taste, provided that you do it unobtrusively. An ugly layout suggests an ugly product. There are very few products which do not benefit from being given a first class ticket through life.”

“H. L. Mencken suffers from the hallucination that he is H. L. Mencken - there is no cure for a disease of that magnitude.”
“H. L. Mencken told me once that he answered all his mail, pleasant and unpleasant, with just one line, 'You may be right.' That's the way I feel now. It is in the realm of possibility, just barely, that I could be the one who's wrong.”
“H.L.Mencken's war aims, according to the handful of observers who deigned to notice his conflict, were the overthrow of American Democracy, the Christian religion, and the YMCA. He was also credited with trying to wipe out poets and luncheon orators.”

“H.P. Lovecraft is for the summer between junior and senior years in high school. Cosmic fear hits you about then anyway -- you realize you'll soon have to Get a Real Job or Go To College or Both and in those days, Be Drafted. A dose of Cthulhu helps put these feelings in perspective.”
“H.P.Lovecraft could've been trying to do a Marx to Hegel, that kind of thing, in other words, turn the thing upside down and crawl around inside it. But, look, the guy was eating poorly, he had like a quart of ice cream a day. He was suffering constantly near the end. He wasn't concerned with his body at all, not the way we're concerned with our bodies nowadays.”
“H2O it's a complicated, three-dimensional, charged object. And one can pack these things in many different ways, a little like playing the child's game of jacks, where those complicated little objects can be thrown together in all different ways.”

“Ha a nők elmésnek, tehetségesnek találják, a férfiak el fogják hinni, hogy az, hacsak maga ki nem ábrándítja őket. Akkor aztán mindent akarhat, mindenütt megvetheti a lábát. Akkor majd megtudja, hogy a világ nem egyéb, mint megcsaltak és csalók közössége.”

“Ha!’ cackled the fiend, ‘I expect you’d like revenge on that husband of yours. Murder shouldn’t go unpunished, and no creature enjoys delivering chastisement as much as I. What about giving him a taste of his own medicine? If you’d be so kind as to lend me your body, I’ll set him dancing to my tune.’
The wife’s spectre grimaced and nodded, at which the wicked Likho stripped off the nightgown, then the dead woman’s pliant skin, peeling back the flaccid folds. These it left in a slack heap.
It gobbled her flesh and sucked the bones clean. These it hid behind the stove, before inserting itself inside the empty, wrinkled carcass, taking the former position of the corpse. Its fat tongue swiped the last juices from around its lips.
When the husband returned home, all was as it had been; there was not a speck of blood to be seen, although the strangest smell of rotten eggs lingered”

“Ha detto che le era difficile immaginare il mondo senza di lei.
Quando sei giovane e pensi a un mondo e a un tempo in cui tu non esistevi, la cosa non ti turba. Perché la storia sembra dotata di una direzione implicita che porta fatalmente al momento in cui sei tu a irrompere sulla scena. Il mondo senza di noi prima di noi è una lunga fase preparatoria. Il mondo senza di noi dopo di noi invece è semplicemente il mondo senza di noi. Finché appare lontano riusciamo a placare l’angoscia dell’idea. Ma io so che fra qualche settimana, al massimo qualche mese, non ci sarò piú e il mondo continuerà a esistere, senza nemmeno una increspatura. Senza nemmeno un sussulto. Voi piangerete, ma poi dovrete occuparvi delle questioni pratiche e smetterete di piangere. E comunque sarete sollevati che questa sofferenza non ci sia piú. Potrete distogliere lo sguardo e occuparvi di vivere. Come è giusto. E tutto sarà finito.”

“Ha letto tutti quei libri?” ho chiesto.
“Sì. Alcuni anche più d’una volta. Sono i grandi amori della mia vita. Mi fanno ridere, piangere, dubitare, riflettere. Mi permettono di evadere. Mi hanno cambiata, hanno fatto di me un’altra persona.”
“Un libro ci può cambiare?”

“Ha minden szomorú lesz, meg kell őrizni a lélek vidámságát. Nincs rondább a depressziós öregembereknél. Inkább a meghülyülést kellene választani, mint a megkeseredést. Én már harminc évvel ezelőtt megöregedtem, most viszont úgy érzem, mintha napról napra fiatalodnék. Ez most jó vagy rossz? Ami jó, az a hála. Az ember hálás a bornak, hogy még mindig ízlik, a testnek, hogy még mindig elvisel, és a nyugdíjpénztárnak, hogy finanszírozza az egészet.”
