More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
You must hold hard to life and do it. But life is a cheap thing beside a man's work. The only thing is that you need it. Hold it tight.
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
All stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you. Especially do all stories of monogamy end in death, and your man who is monogamous while he often lives most happily, dies in the most lonely fashion.
Ernest Hemingway
There are worse places to be than on your own.
Ernest Hemingway
You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.
Ernest Hemingway
Before we take to the sea, we walk on land. . . Before we create, we must understand. . .

Ernest Hemingway
Life is the best left hooker I ever saw, although some say it was Charlie White of Chicago
Ernest Hemingway
The whiskey warmed his tongue and the back of his throat, but it did not change his ideas any, and suddenly, looking at himself in the mirror behind the bar, he knew that drinking was never going to do any good to him now. Whatever he had now he had, and it was from now on, and if he drank himself unconscious when he woke up it would be there.
Ernest Hemingway
For her everything was red, orange, gold-red from the sun on the closed eyes, and it all was that color, all of it, the filling, the possessing, the having, all of that color, all in a blindness of that color. - Ernest Hemingway.
Ernest Hemingway
It is a hell of a thing to be hungry in your own house.
Ernest Hemingway
This was a big storm and he might as well enjoy it. It was ruining everything, but you might as well enjoy it
Ernest Hemingway
The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, confident loving eyes.
Ernest Hemingway
Where do the noses go? I always wondered where the noses would go.
Ernest Hemingway
A severed femoral artery empties itself faster than you can believe.
Ernest Hemingway
The sinews of war are five - men, money, materials, maintenance (food) and morale.
Ernest Hemingway
Being against evil doesn't make you good. Tonight I was against it and then I was evil myself. I could feel it coming just like a tide... I just want to destroy them. But when you start taking pleasure in it you are awfully close to the thing you're fighting.
Ernest Hemingway
The clouds were building up now for the trade wind and he looked ahead and saw a flight of wild ducks etching themselves against the sky over the water, then blurring, then etching again and he knew no man was ever alone on the sea.
Ernest Hemingway
I did not understand them but they did not have any mystery, and when I understood them they meant nothing to me. I was sorry about this but there was nothing I could do about it.
Ernest Hemingway
