Ernest Hemingway

The best writing is certainly when you are in love
Ernest Hemingway

Creation's probably overrated. After all, God made the world in only six days and rested on the seventh.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Wars are caused by undefended wealth.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.
Ernest Hemingway

There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.
Ernest Hemingway

If a writer stops observing, he is finished.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
If the book is good, is about something that you know, and is truly written, and reading it over you see that this is so, you can let the boys yip and the noise will have that pleasant sound coyotes make on a very cold night when they are out in the snow and you are in your own cabin that you have built or paid for with your work.

Ernest Hemingway
Image
I might say that what amateurs call a style is usually only the unavoidable awkwardnesses in first trying to make something that has not heretofore been made.
Ernest Hemingway
Image

Ernest Hemingway
Image
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.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Pound's crazy. All poets are.... They have to be. You don't put a poet like Pound in the loony bin.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I was a little drunk. Not drunk in any positive sense but just enough to be careless.
Ernest Hemingway

Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. He should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. There are only certain words which are valid and similes (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing I can think of at this time).
Ernest Hemingway
Image
A writer should be of as great probity and honesty as a priest of God. He is either honest or not, as a woman is either chaste or not, and after one piece of dishonest writing he is never the same again.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
He had loved too much, demanded too much, and he wore it all out.
Ernest Hemingway

All you need to do is write truly and not care about what the fate of it is.
