“Hoping gets you nothing in life. If you want more in life it’s your job to earn it.”
“Hoping.
Hope, he sometimes thought, was more evil than hate or rage or despair.
At least those didn’t raise you up only to cast you down.
If sins and virtues were demons and angels, Hope would be the former masquerading as the latter.”
Source: On Whom the Pale Moon Gleams

“Hoping to ground herself, Rosie closed her eyes and thought of butter, the way other people probably pictured relaxing tropical idylls. Her favorite thing in the world was creaming butter and sugar, watching the way two disparate ingredients come together to form something new. She could picture it in her mind, back in the kitchen at home: the soft pale yellow of the butter, the old wooden spoon, and the cracked brown mixing bowl. Butter was magic. The starting point for cookies and cake and pie and muffins and everything good.”

Times change, the world changes, and obviously the martial arts must change too. The karate that high school students practice today is not the same karate that was practiced even as recently as ten years ago [this book was written in 1956], and it is a long way indeed from the karate I learned when I was a child in Okinawa.”
“Hoping to see the earth meeting the sky, I’ve been to the horizon.
And discovered that they’re still separated by the same height.”
“Hoping to settle the matter once and for all, in 1969 food scientists from all over the world convened at ‘An Origin of Corn Conference’ at the University of Illinois, but the debates grew so vituperative and bitter, and at times personal, that the conference broke up in confusion, and no papers from it were ever published.”

“Hopis have lived in America longer than anyone. We wanted to explore the concept of Earthly visitation through the eyes of people who have also witnessed the rapid evolution of modern culture. For us, their beliefs ring true on so many levels. Hopi prophecy speaks to the destiny of man...in a universe where we are not alone.”

“Hopkins’ cruciale ‘noodzaak tot vriendschap’ leidde tot vreemde en schemerige situaties. De Lend-Leaseleveringen aan de Britten stonden onder scherp toezicht, bij de Russen was daarvan geen sprake. Het Congres kreeg er geen greep op, wie te veel vragen stelde – zoals Ivan Yeaton, de alerte ambassademedewerker bij Hopkins’ bezoek aan Moskou – kreeg problemen met het Witte Huis. Grofweg kregen de Russen, met een totaal van 11 miljard dollar, bijna driemaal zoveel als de Britten met hun 4,3 miljard. In tegenstelling tot de Britten betaalden ze daar niets voor terug.”
“Hopkins is talking about fighting at Yankee Stadium but that's rubbish. If he fought at Yankee Stadium, even the ushers wouldn't want to watch him. Bernard Hopkins couldn't draw breath.”
“Hopped up out the bed / Turn my swag on”
“Hopper’s paintings are full of women like her; women who appear to be in the grips of a loneliness that has to do with gender and unattainable standards of appearance, and that gets increasingly toxic and strangulating with age.”

“Hopping around time in a non-linear storytelling fashion (on 'Lost') allows you to bring back characters who are dead and, in some cases, buried. Now that time travel is the story itself, it opens up even more doors. So when an actor reads that they're getting killed off on the show, they're basically, like, 'Okay, but should I still bother to show up next week?'”
“Hopping the fence or wading the Rio Grande River isn't part of America's immigration process.”
“Hora to an Exiled Girl
A hora, roaring, tempestuous, blazes around me
With the mystery of rhythm, gladdening and forging,
It tugs at my body and heart
The foot marches, the back quivers, the song is ignited, a searing chorus
Dance and song, a wordless prayer,
Hail to the future, hail to creation
But then a figure flutters before my eyes
My arm has escaped my friends’ embrace
My heart spurns the tempestuous singing,
Far and near it consumes me whole
Blue eyes
Such a bewildered glance
A sad silence and a stubborn mouth
The stillness grows in me
I remain standing
Alone, in a crowd of a hundred, her and I
(Translation by Elie Leshem)”
“Horace appears in good humor while he censures, and therefore his censure has the more weight, as supposed to proceed from judgment and not from passion.”
“Horace Dinsmore was, like his father, an upright, moral man, who paid an outward respect to the forms of religion, but cared nothing for the vital power of godliness.”

“Horace normally didn't need anyone else to save his life. He was pretty skilled at doing it for himself.”
“Horace’s eyes get wide, and he glances between me and the house. “Every time I think I got a grip on this crazy shit going on in your head, I realize I don’t know the half of it, do I?”
My eyes tracing the red trim of the house, I shake my head. “Not even close.”

“Horace smiled. "Always breakfast like a man condemned. One never knows that a day may bring."”
“Horace's best ode would not please a young woman as much as the mediocre verses of the young man she is in love with.”
“Horace, in a particularly boastful mood, once said his verse would last as long as the vestal virgins kept going up the Capitoline Hill to worship at the temple of Jupiter. But Horace's poetry has lasted longer than Jupiter's religion, and Jupiter himself has only survived because he disappeared into literature.”

“Horace, when he wrote the Ars Poetica, recommended that poets keep their poems home for ten years; don't let them go, don't publish them until you have kept them around for ten years: by that time, they ought to stop moving on you; by that time, you ought to have them right.”

“Horace, when you get older, try to avoid being saddled with an apprentice. Not only are they a damned nuisance, but apparently they constantly feel the need to get the better of their masters. They’re bad enough when they’re learning. But when they graduate, they become unbearable. [The Kings of Clonmel Pg.268]”
“Horace, who had been trying to find out the meaning of Kurokuma for some time now, was pleased to hear the translation. "Black bear," he repeated. "It's undoubtedly because I'm so terrible in battle." "I'd guess so," Will put in. "I've seen you in battle and you're definitely terrible.”

“Horas después asesinarían, tras haberlo torturado, a Gustavo Madero. Victoriano Huerta (él precisamente, se diría Villa), pactando con los sublevados, se haría con el poder. Y el 22 de febrero los militares asesinaron al presidente Madero.
Luz Corral cuenta que, al saberlo, Villa, "chispeantes los ojos, se golpeaba el pecho, se mesaba los cabellos y lanzaba la injuria procaz y fuerte: ¡Traidores!". Ese mismo día, un Villa lloroso que juraba venganza subió al techo de su casa, abrió la jaula de sus palomas y salió de El Paso.”

“Horatia said eagerly: "Oh, you will take m-me instead?" "No," said Rule, with a faint smile. "I won't do that. But I will engage not to marry your sister. It's not necessary to offer me an exchange, my poor child." "B-but it is!" said Horatia vigorously. "One of us m-must marry you!”
“Hordes of people [are] born, who live, yet who have done absolutely nothing to advance the race one iota. Their lives are hopeless repetitions… Such human weeds clog up the path, drain up the energies and the resources of this little earth. We must clear the way for a better world; we must cultivate our garden.”
“Horiki mostraba hacia los objetos de su casa una posesividad que alcanzaba hasta los cordones del cojín. Pensándolo después, a Horiki no le había costado ni un céntimo el divertirse conmigo.”

“Horizon of love
The sky was blue, and like always spreading everywhere,
And under this blue sky, I knew she was somewhere,
Where but, I had no idea, how far, I did not know,
But I bore her memories and her feelings in all my emotions and feelings low,
And sometimes when I looked at the sky, the sun was everywhere and so was the moon,
I wondered and hoped if she were like them; these were my thoughts one placid afternoon,
Then as I watched the sun set and kiss the horizon,
I remembered her with my deepest passion,
Because just like the sun that sinks into the horizon and disappears in the vastness of its waiting lover,
In me sink her memories, her feelings, her thoughts, creating a world that is fairer,
But filled with waves of anxiety, longings; and a lot of wishes that surface as bubbles everywhere,
As they are burst one by one when I look at the red sky and imagine her there somewhere,
Then the sun disappears, and what remains of it are just the dying shades of red,
It is then my desires leave me, my wishes forsake me too, because into her world they now tread,
Into the world that is red with passions and stretching wherever my imagination takes it,
For now this is how she exists in my world: She in me, I in her, and our restless desires together cast into it!”
