Ernest Hemingway
For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can.
Ernest Hemingway
I'm always reading books-as many as there are. I ration myself on them so that I'll always be in supply.
Ernest Hemingway
You must hold hard to life and do it. But life is a cheap thing beside a man's work. The only thing is that you need it. Hold it tight.
Ernest Hemingway
Every damn thing is your own fault, if you are any good.
Ernest Hemingway
War is not won by victory.
Ernest Hemingway
I kept this to remind me of you trying to brush away the Villa Rossa from your teeth in the morning, swearing and eating aspirin and cursing harlots. Every time I see that glass I think of you trying to clean your conscience with a toothbrush.
Ernest Hemingway
I would not have thought of eating a meal without drinking a beer.
Ernest Hemingway
