Ernest Hemingway
But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there, not even poverty, nor sudden money, nor the moonlight, nor right and wrong nor the breathing of someone who lay beside you in the moonlight.
Ernest Hemingway
You can write anytime people will leave you alone and not interrupt you.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?
Ernest Hemingway
Worry destroys the ability to write.
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
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
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
Religion is like an ice cold whiskey on a hot day.
Ernest Hemingway
The English talked with inflected phrases. One phrase to mean everything.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
