Race you to the road? I said. You are so going to lose. She (Annabeth) took off down Half-Blood Hill and I sprinted after her. For once, I didn't look back.
Rick Riordan

A ball will always come to rest halfway down a hill, unless there is sand or water at the bottom.
Henry Beard
Image
And the stately ships go on To their haven under the hill But O for the touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still!
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
I didn't read The Haunting of Hill House until sometime early in the 1990's.
William Peter Blatty

It is almost impossible for anyone outside this damn beltway to really understand how the Congress works. If you aren't here, walking the halls of Congress, sitting at bars and attending parties where you get to knock back some brews with Hill staffers, you don't have a handle on the almost numbing amount of bullshit that goes on.

Sometimes all you need is to climb a simple hill, to spend time staring at an empty horizon, to jump into a cold river or sleep under the stars, or perhaps share a whisky at a small country inn in order to remind yourself what matters most to you in life.

In those long, lonely miles you put in during the off-season, and in those knife-in-the-gut repetitions and hill repeats that buckly your knees - at that moment in almost every race when you ask yourself how much you're willing to hurt to catch one more runner - you can draw strength and inspiration from your running mates.

What the Londoner sees in his mind's eye is that cluster of towers and pinnacles seen from Pentonville Hill and outlined against a foggy sunset, and the great arc of Barlow's train shed gaping to devour incoming engines, and the sudden burst of exuberant Gothic of the hotel seen from gloomy Judd Street.

Just say up on the hill is the meaning of life and someone knew it and they wanted everyone else to enjoy it. So they put a red vinyl sofa up there.
Melina Marchetta

Life is not a popularity contest. Take the hill, but first answer the question: What is my hill?.
Matthew McConaughey

Over hill and under hill
J. R. R. Tolkien

When lost in a forest go always down hill. When lost in a philosophy or doctrine go upward.
Ambrose Bierce

In the decline of the day, near Kentucky river, as we ascended the brow of a small hill, a number of Indians rushed out of a thick cane-brake upon us, and made us prisoners.
Daniel Boone

When we come to the sundown road, we need all the love we have managed to take with us from the summit of the hill.

Not so much that I wanted to give up rock writing, but I also wanted to try something new. So I moved to a crumbling stately heap on top of a hill in the middle of nowhere in southwest France, about 60 miles from Bordeaux: wine instead of cocaine.

I feel like Jonah Hill would be a good selfie, or Jennifer Lawrence. They'd be really good ones...Historic.
Sarah Hyland

Any strategy that involves crossing a valley accepting short-term losses to reach a higher hill in the distance will soon be brought to a halt by the demands of a system that celebrates short-term gains and tolerates stagnation, but condemns anything else as failure. In short, a world where big stuff can never get done.
Neal Stephenson

Do you know what investing for the long run but listening to market news everyday is like? It's like a man walking up a big hill with a yo-yo and keeping his eyes fixed on the yo-yo instead of the hill.
Alan Abelson

Very often, you know, you stop walking because you say, 'Well, I'm tired of climbing this hill. I'm never going to get to the top.' And you're only two steps from the top.
Morgan Freeman

[ John] Winthrop was the man who first said America was a city upon a hill, which [Ronald] Reagan then appropriated. There are incidents like that all through history. We have been here.

I do not like eating meat because I have seen lambs and pigs killed. I saw and felt their pain. They felt the approaching death. I could not bear it. I cried like a child. I ran up a hill and could not breathe. I felt that I was choking. I felt the death of the lamb.
Vaslav Nijinsky

All the well-meaning advice in the world won't amount to a hill of beans if we're not even addressing the real problem.
