More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Never sit a table when you can stand at the bar.
Ernest Hemingway
The best way is to read it all every day from the start, correcting as you go along, then go on from where you stopped the day before. When it gets so long that you can't do this every day read back two or three chapters each day then each week read it all from the start. That's how you make it all of one piece.
Ernest Hemingway
Now, being in Africa, I was hungry for more of it, the changes of the seasons, the rains with no need to travel, the discomforts that you paid to make it real, the names of the trees, of the small animals, and all the birds, to know the language and have time to be in it and to move slowly.
Ernest Hemingway
I don't want to be your friend, baby. I am your friend.
Ernest Hemingway
I've seen you, beauty, and you belong to me now, whoever you are waiting for and if I never see you again, I thought. You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil.
Ernest Hemingway
Everyone my age had written a novel and I was still having difficulty writing a paragraph.
Ernest Hemingway
No that doesn't interest me.' 'That's because you never read a book about it.
Ernest Hemingway
The world was not wheeling anymore. It was just very clear and bright and inclined to blur at the edges.
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer stops observing he is finished. Experience is communicated by small details intimately observed.
Ernest Hemingway
He had loved too much, demanded too much, and he wore it all out.
Ernest Hemingway
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
Ernest Hemingway
The only kind of writing is rewriting.
Ernest Hemingway
Be fully in the moment,open yourself to the powerful energies dancing around you.
Ernest Hemingway
There can be no great literature in America until her writers have learned to trust her implicitly and love her devoutly.
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
How lazily the sun goes down in Granada, it hides beneath the water, it conceals in the Alhambra!
Ernest Hemingway
I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.
Ernest Hemingway
If the wind rises it can push us against the flood when it comes.
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.
Ernest Hemingway
I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke that I was not happy.
Ernest Hemingway
