More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Paris is so very beautiful that it satisfies something in you that is always hungry in America.
Ernest Hemingway
Everyone has his own conscience, and there should be no rules about how a conscience should function.
Ernest Hemingway
The circus is the only fun you can buy that is good for you.
Ernest Hemingway
Being against evil doesn't make you good. Tonight I was against it and then I was evil myself. I could feel it coming just like a tide... I just want to destroy them. But when you start taking pleasure in it you are awfully close to the thing you're fighting.
Ernest Hemingway
The only thing that can ruin a good day is people.
Ernest Hemingway
This was a big storm and he might as well enjoy it. It was ruining everything, but you might as well enjoy it
Ernest Hemingway
We have come out of the time when obedience, the acceptance of discipline, intelligent courage and resolution were most important, into that more difficult time when it is a man's duty to understand his world rather than simply fight for it.
Ernest Hemingway
He was violating the second rule of the two rules for getting on well with people that speak Spanish give the men tobacco and leave the women alone
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
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
But you always fall for somebody else and then it's all right. Fall for them but don't let them ruin you.
Ernest Hemingway
Use short sentences. Use short first paragraphs. Use vigorous English. Be positive, not negative.
Ernest Hemingway
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
Ernest Hemingway
Easy writing makes hard reading.
Ernest Hemingway
You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.
Ernest Hemingway
It is a hell of a thing to be hungry in your own house.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine is the most civilized thing in the world.
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 cat has complete emotional honesty - an attribute not often found in humans.
Ernest Hemingway
Any man who eats dessert is not drinking enough.
Ernest Hemingway
