Ernest Hemingway
The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it.
Ernest Hemingway
I kept this to remind me of you trying to brush away the Villa Rossa from your teeth in the morning, swearing and eating aspirin and cursing harlots. Every time I see that glass I think of you trying to clean your conscience with a toothbrush.
Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake motive for action.
Ernest Hemingway
