“Because it is not pleasant; it starts in your stomach and goes in waves around and up and down again like something alive. Like something alive. Yes. Like something alive.” Love the personification of the house being alive

“"When Luke and I are called outside, and you two are kept imprisoned inside, doesn't it begin to seem" —and his voice was very quiet-"doesn't it begin to seem that the intention is, somehow, to separate us?"” Yeah this house is alive

“Eleanor said aloud, "Now I know why people scream, because I think I'm going to," and Theodora said, "I will if you will," and laughed…” the inclusion of comedy mixed with the horror/gothic tropes are so amazing

Love the narration style and how the horror/gothic tropes are often countered with the characters making jokes or acting out an abruptly ridiculous scene to create a lighthearted mood

“It was a house without kindness, never meant to be lived in, not a fit place for people or for love or for hope.” Live the personification of Hill House
