More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
There is no friend as loyal as a book.
Ernest Hemingway
I was so sentimental about you I'd break any one's heart for you. My, I was a damned fool. I broke my own heart, too. It's broken and gone. Everything I believe in and everything I cared about I left for you because you were so wonderful and you loved me so much that love was all that mattered. Love was the greatest thing, wasn't it?
Ernest Hemingway
The fools think I am writing algebra but what I am really writing is geometry.
Ernest Hemingway
No catalogue of horrors ever kept men from war. Before the war you always think that it's not you that dies. But you will die, brother, if you go to it long enough.
Ernest Hemingway
The smallest coffins are the heaviest.
Ernest Hemingway
Having books published is very destructive to writing. It is even worse than making love too much. Because when you make love too much at least you get a damned clarte that is like no other light. A very clear and hollow light.
Ernest Hemingway
God knows, people who are paid to have attitudes toward things, professional critics, make me sick camp-following eunuchs of literature.
Ernest Hemingway
But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there.
Ernest Hemingway
When you start to live outside yourself, it's all dangerous.
Ernest Hemingway
A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book.
Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake movement for action
Ernest Hemingway
The sinews of war are five - men, money, materials, maintenance (food) and morale.
Ernest Hemingway
I don’t. I don’t want anybody else to touch you. I’m silly. I get furious if they touch you.
Ernest Hemingway
You never understand anybody that loves you.
Ernest Hemingway
Pound's crazy. All poets are.... They have to be. You don't put a poet like Pound in the loony bin.
Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake motive for action.
Ernest Hemingway
Your blood coagulates beautifully.
Ernest Hemingway
it is all very well for you to write simply and the simpler the better. But do not start to think so damned simply. Know how complicated it is and then state it simply.
Ernest Hemingway
You won't do our things with another girl, or say the same things, will you?
Ernest Hemingway
Humility is not disgraceful, and carries no loss of true pride.
Ernest Hemingway
