More quotes by 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
The bicycle riders drank much wine, and were burned and browned by the sun. They did not take the race seriously except among themselves.
Ernest Hemingway
You can write anytime people will leave you alone and not interrupt you.
Ernest Hemingway
How would that premise stand up if he examined it? That was probably why the Communists were always cracking down on Bohemiansism. When you were drunk or when you committed adultery you recognised your own personal fallability of that so mutable substitute for the apostles' creed, the party line.

Ernest Hemingway
Got tight on absinthe last night. Did knife tricks.
Ernest Hemingway
I am so in love with you that there isn’t anything else.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
No one should be alone in their old age, he thought.
Ernest Hemingway
Keep right on lying to me. That's what I want you to do.
Ernest Hemingway

Close to the western summit there is a dried and frozen carcas of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.
Ernest Hemingway
When you give power to an executive you do not know who will be filling that position when the time of crisis comes.
Ernest Hemingway
Only that which makes you feel bad after doing is immoral.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine is the most civilized thing in the world.
Ernest Hemingway
You can write any time people will leave you alone and not interrupt you. Or rather you can if you will be ruthless enough about it. But the best writing is certainly when you are in love.
Ernest Hemingway
There are worse places to be than on your own.
Ernest Hemingway
We wait always for something that does not come.
Ernest Hemingway
Everything is your fault if you're any damn good.
Ernest Hemingway
He knew he would not be afraid. Even if he ever was afraid he knew that he could do it anyway.
Ernest Hemingway
