Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.

More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
A beautiful vacuum filled with wealthy monogamists, all powerful and members of the best families all drinking themselves to death.
Ernest Hemingway
Things may not be immediately discernible in what a man writes, and in this sometimes he is fortunate but eventually they are quite clear and by these and the degree of alchemy that he possesses he will endure or be forgotten.
Ernest Hemingway
The road to Hell is paved with unbought stuffed dogs.
Ernest Hemingway
A man does not exist until he is drunk.
Ernest Hemingway
No one should be alone in their old age, he thought.
Ernest Hemingway
Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be.
Ernest Hemingway
If every one said orders were impossible to carry out when they were received where would you be? Where would we all be if you just said, Impossible, when orders came?
Ernest Hemingway
No weapon has ever settled a moral problem. It can impose a solution but it cannot guarantee it to be a just one. You can wipe out your opponents. But if you do it unjustly you become eligible for being wiped out yourself.
Ernest Hemingway
You make your own luck, Gig. You know what makes a good loser? Practice.
Ernest Hemingway
Having books published is very destructive to writing. It is even worse than making love too much. Because when you make love too much at least you get a damned clarte that is like no other light. A very clear and hollow light.
Ernest Hemingway
What difference does it make if you live in a picturesque little outhouse surrounded by 300 feeble minded goats and your faithful dog? The question is: Can you write?
Ernest Hemingway
The better the writers the less they will speak about what they have written themselves.
Ernest Hemingway
It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of the country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.
Ernest Hemingway
Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.
Ernest Hemingway
I decided that I would write one story about each thing that I knew about.
Ernest Hemingway
He did not say that because he knew that if you said a good thing it might not happen.
Ernest Hemingway
Listen now. When people talk listen completely. Don't be thinking what you're going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe.
Ernest Hemingway
Fish, the old man said. Fish, you are going to have to die anyway. Do you have to kill me too?
Ernest Hemingway
No that doesn't interest me.' 'That's because you never read a book about it.
Ernest Hemingway
What did I know best that I had not written about and Lost? What did I know about truly and care for the most?
Ernest Hemingway
