In order to be a great writer a person must have a built-in, shockproof crap detector.
Ernest Hemingway
All cowardice comes from not truly loving, or at least, not loving well.
Ernest Hemingway
Perhaps wars weren't won anymore. Maybe they went on forever. Maybe it was another Hundred Years' War.

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
The worst death for anyone is to lose the center of his being, the thing he really is. Retirement is the filthiest word in the language. Whether by choice or by fate, to retire from what you do - and makes you what you are - is to back up into the grave.
Ernest Hemingway
When you start to live outside yourself, it's all dangerous.
Ernest Hemingway
Use short sentences. Use short first paragraphs. Use vigorous English. Be positive, not negative.
Ernest Hemingway
The way to learn whether a person is trustworthy is to trust him.
Ernest Hemingway
To hell with them. Nothing hurts if you don't let it.
Ernest Hemingway
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
Ernest Hemingway
I never liked to hunt, you know. There was always the danger of having a horse fall on you.
Ernest Hemingway
In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.
Ernest Hemingway
Let him think is I am more man than I am and I will be so.
Ernest Hemingway
For her everything was red, orange, gold-red from the sun on the closed eyes, and it all was that color, all of it, the filling, the possessing, the having, all of that color, all in a blindness of that color. - Ernest Hemingway.
Ernest Hemingway
Pound's crazy. All poets are.... They have to be. You don't put a poet like Pound in the loony bin.
Ernest Hemingway
You don't have to destroy me. Do you? I'm only a woman who loves you and wants to do what you want to do. I've been destroyed two or three times already. You wouldn't want to destroy me again, would you?
Ernest Hemingway
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
