More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Work could cure almost anything
Ernest Hemingway
Before we take to the sea, we walk on land. . . Before we create, we must understand. . .
Ernest Hemingway
But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there.
Ernest Hemingway
I would walk along the quais when I had finished work or when I was trying to think something out. It was easier to think if I was walking and doing something or seeing people doing something that they understood.
Ernest Hemingway
A bottle of wine was good company.
Ernest Hemingway
And bed, he thought. Bed is my friend. Just bed, he thought. Bed will be a great thing. It is easy when you are beaten, he thought. I never knew how easy it was. And what beat you, the thought.
Ernest Hemingway
I am like a blind pig when I work.
Ernest Hemingway
You’ll ache. And you’re going to love it. It will crush you. And you’re still going to love all of it.
Ernest Hemingway
The first and final thing you have to do in this world is to last it and not be smashed by it.
Ernest Hemingway
The whiskey warmed his tongue and the back of his throat, but it did not change his ideas any, and suddenly, looking at himself in the mirror behind the bar, he knew that drinking was never going to do any good to him now. Whatever he had now he had, and it was from now on, and if he drank himself unconscious when he woke up it would be there.
Ernest Hemingway
I do not think I had ever seen a nastier-looking man. Under the black hat, when I had first seen them, the eyes had been those of an unsuccessful rapist.
Ernest Hemingway
There can be no great literature in America until her writers have learned to trust her implicitly and love her devoutly.
Ernest Hemingway
But in the night he woke and held her tight as though she were all of life and it was being taken from him. He held her feeling she was all of life there was and it was true.
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
No one should be alone in their old age, he thought.
Ernest Hemingway
There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.
Ernest Hemingway
Each day of not writing, of comfort, of being that which he despised, dulled his ability and softened his will to work so that, finally, he did no work at all.
Ernest Hemingway
I wish I could write well enough to write about aircraft. Faulkner did it very well in Pylon but you cannot do something someone else has done though you might have done it if they hadn't.
Ernest Hemingway
Paris is so very beautiful that it satisfies something in you that is always hungry in America.
Ernest Hemingway
It's a town you come to for a short time.
Ernest Hemingway
