Ernest Hemingway
Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?
Ernest Hemingway
French is the language of diplomacy. Spanish is the language of bureaucracy.
Ernest Hemingway
My writing is nothing, my boxing is everything.
Ernest Hemingway
We're stronger in the places that we've been broken.
Ernest Hemingway
When we came back to Paris it was clear and cold and lovely.
Ernest Hemingway
I still need more healthy rest in order to work at my best. My health is the main capital I have and I want to administer it intelligently.
Ernest Hemingway
You know you’re writing well when you're throwing good stuff into the wastebasket.
Ernest Hemingway
You make something from things that have happened and from things that exist and from all things that you know and all those you cannot know, and you make something through your invention that is truer than anything true and alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it immortality.
Ernest Hemingway
After writing a story I was always empty and both sad and happy, as though I had made love.
Ernest Hemingway
I did not care what it was all about. All I wanted to know was how to live in it. Maybe if you found out how to live in it you learned from that what is was all about.
Ernest Hemingway
For luck you carried a horse chestnut and a rabbit?s foot in your right pocket. The fur had been worn off the rabbit?s foot long ago and the bones and the sinews were polished by the wear. The claws scratched in the lining of your pocket and you knew your luck was still there.
Ernest Hemingway
At night, never go to bed without knowing what you'll write tomorrow.
Ernest Hemingway
It's a town you come to for a short time.
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
Never mistake motive for action.
Ernest Hemingway
There is no friend as loyal as a book.
Ernest Hemingway
The echoes of beauty you've seen transpire, Resound through dying coals of a campfire.
Ernest Hemingway
It is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.
Ernest Hemingway
I always try to write on the principle of the iceberg. There is seven-eighths of it underwater for every part that shows.
Ernest Hemingway
