Ernest Hemingway
As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Some writers are only born to help another writer write one sentence.
Ernest Hemingway
A beautiful vacuum filled with wealthy monogamists, all powerful and members of the best families all drinking themselves to death.
Ernest Hemingway
In stating as fully as I could how things really were, it was often very difficult and I wrote awkwardly and the awkwardness is what they called my style. All mistakes and awkwardness are easy to see, and they called it style.
Ernest Hemingway
How lazily the sun goes down in Granada, it hides beneath the water, it conceals in the Alhambra!
Ernest Hemingway
Where do the noses go? I always wondered where the noses would go.
Ernest Hemingway
I was blown up while we were eating cheese.
Ernest Hemingway
A big lie is more plausible than truth.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
