Ernest Hemingway
I love you for all that you are, all that you have been, all that you're yet to be.
Ernest Hemingway
I didn't want to kiss you goodbye — that was the trouble — I wanted to kiss you good night — and there's a lot of difference.
Ernest Hemingway
A big lie is more plausible than truth.
Ernest Hemingway
The better the writers the less they will speak about what they have written themselves.

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Never confuse movement with action.
Ernest Hemingway
As a Nobel Prize winner I cannot but regret that the award was never given to Mark Twain, nor to Henry James, speaking only of my own countrymen. Greater writers than these also did not receive the prize. I would have been happy - happier - today if the prize had been given to that beautiful writer Isak Dinesen.
