More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Easy writing makes hard reading.
Ernest Hemingway
Only that which makes you feel bad after doing is immoral.
Ernest Hemingway
Don't do what you sincerely don't want to do. Never confuse movement with action.
Ernest Hemingway
It's harder to write in the third person but the advantage is you move around better.
Ernest Hemingway
Always stop for the day while you still know what will happen next.
Ernest Hemingway
Life breaks us all but in the end we are stronger in the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Now he was proving it again. Each time was a new time and he never thought about the past when he was doing it.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
The only kind of writing is rewriting.

Ernest Hemingway
Never confuse movement with action.
Ernest Hemingway
I may not be as stong as I think, but I know many tricks and I have resolution.
Ernest Hemingway
There are so many good ones to paint and if you paint as well as you really can and keep out of all other things and do that, it is the true thing.
Ernest Hemingway
Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.
Ernest Hemingway
You're not a moron. You're only a case of arrested development.
Ernest Hemingway
Religion is the opium of the poor.
Ernest Hemingway
Everything that's innocent to us is crazy to them.
Ernest Hemingway
And you treat me wonderfully and keep all your promises.
Ernest Hemingway
