More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
She is kind and very beautiful. But she can be so cruel and it comes so suddenly and such birds that fly, dipping and hunting, with their small sad voices are made too delicately for the sea.
Ernest Hemingway
Wars are Spinach. Life in general is the tough part. In war all you have to do is not worry and know how to read a map and co-ordinates.
Ernest Hemingway
To have come on all this new world of writing, with time to read in a city like Paris where there was a way of living well and working, no matter how poor you were, was like having a great treasure given to you.
Ernest Hemingway
I'm tired of everybody. Please forgive me.
Ernest Hemingway
I am an old man who will live until I die, Anselmo said.

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
Ernest Hemingway
Got tight on absinthe last night. Did knife tricks.
Ernest Hemingway
It seemed out of place to think of consequences during the fiesta.
Ernest Hemingway
I wish I could write well enough to write about aircraft. Faulkner did it very well in Pylon but you cannot do something someone else has done though you might have done it if they hadn't.
Ernest Hemingway
I was a little drunk. Not drunk in any positive sense but just enough to be careless.
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
Out of all the things you could not have there were some things that you could have and one of those was to know when you were happy and to enjoy all of it while it was there and it was good.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine ... offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than possibly any other purely sensory thing which may be purchased.
Ernest Hemingway
Oh, darling, you will be good to me, won’t you? Because we’re going to have a strange life.
Ernest Hemingway
When you start to live outside yourself, it's all dangerous.
Ernest Hemingway
