Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
If the wind rises it can push us against the flood when it comes.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
When I saw her I was in love with her. Everything turned over inside of me. She looked toward the door, saw there was no one, then she sat on the side of the bed and leaned over and kissed me.
Ernest Hemingway
Never confuse movement with action.
Ernest Hemingway
Work every day. No matter what has happened the day or night before, get up and bite on the nail.
Ernest Hemingway
Do you know how an ugly woman feels? Do you know what it is to be ugly all your life and inside to feel that you are beautiful? It is very rare.
Ernest Hemingway
