There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.

Wars are caused by undefended wealth.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not, I do not care.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
For a true writer each book should be a new beginning, where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
A writer should be of as great probity and honesty as a priest of God. He is either honest or not, as a woman is either chaste or not, and after one piece of dishonest writing he is never the same again.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
In the fall the war was always there but we did not go to it any more.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
We think. We are not peasants. We are mechanics. But even the peasants know better than to believe in a war. Everybody hates war. There is a class that control a country that is stupid and down not realise anything and never can. That is why we have this war. Also they make money out of it.

I still need more healthy rest in order to work at my best. My health is the main capital I have and I want to administer it intelligently.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
A beautiful vacuum filled with wealthy monogamists, all powerful and members of the best families all drinking themselves to death.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
You can write anytime people will leave you alone and not interrupt you.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
That is what we are supposed to do when we are at our best - make it all up - but make it up so truly that later it will happen that way.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
What a writer has to do is write what hasn't been written before or beat dead men at what they have done.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
It is silly not to hope, besides I believe it is a sin. The Old Man and the Sea
Ernest Hemingway

The best way to become a writer is to go off and write.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
When you work hard all day with your head and know you must work again the next day what else can change your ideas and make them run on a different plane like whisky?
Ernest Hemingway
Image
For we have thought the longer thoughts And gone the shorter way. And we have danced to devils' tunes, Shivering home to pray To serve one master in the night, Another in the day.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
And how much better to die in all the happy period of undisillusioned youth, to go out in a blaze of light, than to have your body worn out and old and illusions shattered.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Worry destroys the ability to write.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today. It's been that way all this year. It's been that way so many times. All of war is that way.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
They were beaten to start with. They were beaten when they took them from their farms and put them in the army. That is why the peasant has wisdom, because he is defeated from the start. Put him in power and see how wise he is.

All good books have one thing in common - they are truer than if they had really happened.
