You can write anytime people will leave you alone and not interrupt you.
Ernest Hemingway
The road to Hell is paved with unbought stuffed dogs.
Ernest Hemingway
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
Ernest Hemingway
I suppose if a man has something once, always something of it remains.
Ernest Hemingway
Writing is the clumsy attempt to find symbols for wordlessness.
Ernest Hemingway
You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn't kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the temple.
Ernest Hemingway
He was violating the second rule of the two rules for getting on well with people that speak Spanish give the men tobacco and leave the women alone
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
Critics are men who watch a battle from a high place then come down and shoot the survivors.
Ernest Hemingway
I was young and not gloomy and there were always strange and comic things that happened in the worst time.
Ernest Hemingway
Mice: What is the best early training for a writer? Y.C.: An unhappy childhood.
Ernest Hemingway
Work could cure almost anything
Ernest Hemingway
Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada pues nada. Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee.
Ernest Hemingway
There is seven-eights of it under water for every part that shows. Anything you know you can eliminate and it only strengthens your iceberg. It is the part that doesn't show. If a writer omits something because he does not know it then there is a hole in the story.
Ernest Hemingway
If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not, I do not care.
Ernest Hemingway
We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.
Ernest Hemingway
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
Ernest Hemingway
But you always fall for somebody else and then it's all right. Fall for them but don't let them ruin you.
Ernest Hemingway
As a Nobel Prize winner I cannot but regret that the award was never given to Mark Twain, nor to Henry James, speaking only of my own countrymen. Greater writers than these also did not receive the prize. I would have been happy - happier - today if the prize had been given to that beautiful writer Isak Dinesen.
Ernest Hemingway
Everything that's innocent to us is crazy to them.
Ernest Hemingway
