More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
You write a book like that you're fond of over the years, then you see that happen to it, it's like pissing in your father's beer.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you quit, try.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Let him think is I am more man than I am and I will be so.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
If every one said orders were impossible to carry out when they were received where would you be? Where would we all be if you just said, Impossible, when orders came?

Ernest Hemingway
What difference does it make if you live in a picturesque little outhouse surrounded by 300 feeble minded goats and your faithful dog? The question is: Can you write?
Ernest Hemingway
I write description in longhand because that's hardest for me and you're closer to the paper when you work by hand, but I use the typewriter for dialogue because people speak like a typewriter works.
Ernest Hemingway
I drank a bottle of wine for company. It was Chateau Margaux. It was pleasant to be drinking slowly and to be tasting the wine and to be drinking alone. A bottle of wine was good company.
Ernest Hemingway
French is the language of diplomacy. Spanish is the language of bureaucracy.
Ernest Hemingway
The English talked with inflected phrases. One phrase to mean everything.
Ernest Hemingway
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
