More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
I'm always reading books-as many as there are. I ration myself on them so that I'll always be in supply.
Ernest Hemingway
He had loved too much, demanded too much, and he wore it all out.
Ernest Hemingway
It is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.
Ernest Hemingway
The fish is my friend too...I have never seen or heard of such a fish. But I must kill him. I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars. Imagine if each day a man must try to kill the moon, he thought. The moon runs away. But imagine if a man each day should have to try to kill the sun? We were born lucky he thought
Ernest Hemingway
No one should be alone in their old age, he thought.
Ernest Hemingway
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
Ernest Hemingway
Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.
Ernest Hemingway
Up the road, in his shack, the old man was sleeping again. He was still sleeping on his face and the boy was sitting by him watching him. The old man was dreaming about the lions.
Ernest Hemingway
You're awfully dark, brother, he said. You don't know how dark.
Ernest Hemingway
Writing is the clumsy attempt to find symbols for wordlessness.
Ernest Hemingway
It is one thing to be in the proximity of death, to know more or less what she is, and it is quite another thing to seek her.
Ernest Hemingway
Real seriousness in regard to writing being one of the two absolute necessities. The other, unfortunately, is talent.
Ernest Hemingway
I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there.
Ernest Hemingway
Never sit a table when you can stand at the bar.
Ernest Hemingway
The writer's job is not to judge, but to seek to understand.
Ernest Hemingway
You're not a moron. You're only a case of arrested development.
Ernest Hemingway
Love is infinitely more endurable than hate.
Ernest Hemingway
Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.
Ernest Hemingway
The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one'.... (The man who first said that) was probably a coward.... He knew a great deal about cowards but nothing about the brave. The brave dies perhaps two thousand deaths if he's intelligent. He simply doesn't mention them.
Ernest Hemingway
The only thing that can ruin a good day is people.
Ernest Hemingway
