More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
All good books have one thing in common - they are truer than if they had really happened.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
I've seen you, beauty, and you belong to me now, whoever you are waiting for and if I never see you again, I thought. You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake motive for action.
Ernest Hemingway
The worst death for anyone is to lose the center of his being, the thing he really is. Retirement is the filthiest word in the language. Whether by choice or by fate, to retire from what you do - and makes you what you are - is to back up into the grave.
Ernest Hemingway
Having books published is very destructive to writing. It is even worse than making love too much. Because when you make love too much at least you get a damned clarte that is like no other light. A very clear and hollow light.
Ernest Hemingway
The best writing is certainly when you are in love
Ernest Hemingway
There is no night life in Spain. They stay up late but they get up late. That is not night life. That is delaying the day.
Ernest Hemingway
The things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist.
Ernest Hemingway
We're stronger in the places that we've been broken.
Ernest Hemingway
We have very primitive emotions,” he said . “It's impossible not to be competitive. Spoils everything, though.
Ernest Hemingway
