More quotes by Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
In the morning there was a big wind blowing and the waves were running high up on the beach and he was awake a long time before he remembered that his heart was broken.

Ernest Hemingway
Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today. It's been that way all this year. It's been that way so many times. All of war is that way.
Ernest Hemingway
The smallest coffins are the heaviest.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Nobody that ever left their own country ever wrote anything worth printing. Not even in the newspapers.
Ernest Hemingway
I am so in love with you that there isn’t anything else.
Ernest Hemingway
He liked the works of his friends, which is beautiful as loyalty but can be disastrous as judgement.
Ernest Hemingway
it is all very well for you to write simply and the simpler the better. But do not start to think so damned simply. Know how complicated it is and then state it simply.
Ernest Hemingway
If he wrote it, he could get rid of it. He had gotten rid of many things by writing them.
Ernest Hemingway
Now, being in Africa, I was hungry for more of it, the changes of the seasons, the rains with no need to travel, the discomforts that you paid to make it real, the names of the trees, of the small animals, and all the birds, to know the language and have time to be in it and to move slowly.
Ernest Hemingway
In the fall the war was always there but we did not go to it any more.
Ernest Hemingway
There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.
Ernest Hemingway
But after I got them to leave and shut the door and turned off the light it wasn't any good. It was like saying good-by to a statue. After a while I went out and left the hospital and walked back to the hotel in the rain.
