More quotes by Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
You won't do our things with another girl, or say the same things, will you?
Ernest Hemingway
And bed, he thought. Bed is my friend. Just bed, he thought. Bed will be a great thing. It is easy when you are beaten, he thought. I never knew how easy it was. And what beat you, the thought.
Ernest Hemingway
It's a town you come to for a short time.
Ernest Hemingway
Keep right on lying to me. That's what I want you to do.
Ernest Hemingway
I believe that basically you write for two people yourself to try to make it absolutely perfect or if not that then wonderful. Then you write for who you love whether she can read or write or not and whether she is alive or dead.
Ernest Hemingway
He was violating the second rule of the two rules for getting on well with people that speak Spanish give the men tobacco and leave the women alone
Ernest Hemingway
The fact that I am interrupting serious work to answer these questions proves that I am so stupid that I should be penalized severely. I will be. Don't worry.
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
