More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
They were beaten to start with. They were beaten when they took them from their farms and put them in the army. That is why the peasant has wisdom, because he is defeated from the start. Put him in power and see how wise he is.
Ernest Hemingway
You ought to dream. All our biggest businessmen have been dreamers.
Ernest Hemingway
There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.
Ernest Hemingway
I drank a bottle of wine for company. It was Chateau Margaux. It was pleasant to be drinking slowly and to be tasting the wine and to be drinking alone. A bottle of wine was good company.
Ernest Hemingway
It is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.
Ernest Hemingway
You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine ... offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than possibly any other purely sensory thing which may be purchased.
Ernest Hemingway
How lazily the sun goes down in Granada, it hides beneath the water, it conceals in the Alhambra!

You'll lose it, if you talk about it
Ernest Hemingway
Life breaks us all but in the end we are stronger in the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
If the wind rises it can push us against the flood when it comes.
Ernest Hemingway
Most people are heartless about turtles because a turtle's heart will beat for hours after he has been cut up and butchered. But the old man thought, I have such a heart too and my feet and hands are like theirs.
Ernest Hemingway
Why, darling, I don't live at all when I'm not with you.
Ernest Hemingway
We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.
Ernest Hemingway
It seemed out of place to think of consequences during the fiesta.
Ernest Hemingway
Oh Jake, Brett said, We could have had such a damned good time together. Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly, pressing Brett against me. Yes, I said. Isn't it pretty to think so?
Ernest Hemingway
Some people, when they hear an echo, think they originated the sound.
Ernest Hemingway
As a Nobel Prize winner I cannot but regret that the award was never given to Mark Twain, nor to Henry James, speaking only of my own countrymen. Greater writers than these also did not receive the prize. I would have been happy - happier - today if the prize had been given to that beautiful writer Isak Dinesen.
Ernest Hemingway
Worry destroys the ability to write.
Ernest Hemingway
For luck you carried a horse chestnut and a rabbit?s foot in your right pocket. The fur had been worn off the rabbit?s foot long ago and the bones and the sinews were polished by the wear. The claws scratched in the lining of your pocket and you knew your luck was still there.
Ernest Hemingway
