More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
My father was a deeply sentimental man. And like all sentimental men, he was also very cruel.
Ernest Hemingway
If the reader prefers, this book may be regarded as fiction. But there is always the chance that such a book of fiction may throw some light on what has been written as fact.
Ernest Hemingway
Let’s not talk about how I am. It’s a subject I know too much about to want to think about anymore.
Ernest Hemingway
Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
If the wind rises it can push us against the flood when it comes.
Ernest Hemingway
In war, one cannot say what one feels.

Ernest Hemingway
Work could cure almost anything
Ernest Hemingway
For a true writer each book should be a new beginning, where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment.
Ernest Hemingway
The bulls are my best friends. I translated to Brett. You kill your friends? she asked. Always, he said in English, and laughed. So they don't kill me.
Ernest Hemingway
God knows, people who are paid to have attitudes toward things, professional critics, make me sick camp-following eunuchs of literature.
Ernest Hemingway
The fact that I am interrupting serious work to answer these questions proves that I am so stupid that I should be penalized severely. I will be. Don't worry.
Ernest Hemingway
The fun of talk is to explore, but much of it and all that is irresponsible should not be written. Once written you have to stand by it. You may have said it to see whether you believed it or not.
Ernest Hemingway
I would like to take the great DiMaggio fishing, the old man said. They say his father was a fisherman. Maybe he was as poor as we are and would understand.
Ernest Hemingway
I may not be as stong as I think, but I know many tricks and I have resolution.
Ernest Hemingway
Ascensions into heaven are like falling leaves sad and happy all at the same time Going away isn't really sad especially when your going enables a new kind of presence to be born.
Ernest Hemingway
