Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well. Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either. Maybe you could never write them, and that was why you put them off and delayed the starting. Well he would never know, now.
Ernest Hemingway
Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?
Ernest Hemingway
Write the best story that you can and write it as straight as you can.
Ernest Hemingway
You'll lose it, if you talk about it
Ernest Hemingway
If you're looking for messages, try Western Union.
Ernest Hemingway
How lazily the sun goes down in Granada, it hides beneath the water, it conceals in the Alhambra!

Ernest Hemingway
My working habits are simple: long periods of thinking, short periods of writing.
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer stops observing, he is finished.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
