More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
One cat just leads to another. The place is so damned big it doesn't really seem as though there were many cats until you see them all moving like a mass migration at feeding time.
Ernest Hemingway
The rain will stop, the night will end, the hurt will fade. Hope is never so lost that it can't be found.
Ernest Hemingway
All stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you. Especially do all stories of monogamy end in death, and your man who is monogamous while he often lives most happily, dies in the most lonely fashion.
Ernest Hemingway
I always rewrite each day up to the point where I stopped. When it is all finished, naturally you go over it. You get another chance to correct and rewrite when someone else types it, and you see it clean in type. The last chance is in the proofs. You're grateful for these different chances.
Ernest Hemingway
Remember to get the weather in your damn book-weather is very important.
Ernest Hemingway
It was like certain dinners I remember from the war. There was much wine, an ignored tension, and a feeling of things coming that you could not prevent happening. Under the wine I lost the disgusted feeling and was happy. It seemed they were all such nice people.
Ernest Hemingway
we would be together and have our books and at night be warm in bed together with the windows open and the stars bright.
Ernest Hemingway
He liked the works of his friends, which is beautiful as loyalty but can be disastrous as judgement.
Ernest Hemingway
One cat just leads to another. [Letter from Finca Vigia, Cuba, to his first wife, Elizabeth Hadley Richardson (1943).]
Ernest Hemingway
I love you for all that you are, all that you have been, all that you're yet to be.
Ernest Hemingway
Everyone has his own conscience, and there should be no rules about how a conscience should function.
Ernest Hemingway
In stating as fully as I could how things really were, it was often very difficult and I wrote awkwardly and the awkwardness is what they called my style. All mistakes and awkwardness are easy to see, and they called it style.
Ernest Hemingway
To hell with luck. I'll bring the luck with me.
Ernest Hemingway
You cannot stop trusting people in life but I have learned to be a little bit careful. The way to make people trust-worthy is to trust them.
Ernest Hemingway
My training was never to drink after dinner nor before I wrote nor while I was writing.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine ... offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than possibly any other purely sensory thing which may be purchased.
Ernest Hemingway
Ezra was right half the time, and when he was wrong, he was so wrong you were never in any doubt about it.
Ernest Hemingway
Fish, the old man said. Fish, you are going to have to die anyway. Do you have to kill me too?
Ernest Hemingway
When I am working on a book or a story I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you and it is cool or cold and you come to your work and warm as you write.
Ernest Hemingway
Luck is a thing that comes in many forms and who can recognize her?
Ernest Hemingway
