More quotes by 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
It seemed out of place to think of consequences during the fiesta.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Man is not made for defeat.
Ernest Hemingway
Write drunk edit sober.
Ernest Hemingway
The echoes of beauty you've seen transpire, Resound through dying coals of a campfire.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
We're stronger in the places that we've been broken.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
You must hold hard to life and do it. But life is a cheap thing beside a man's work. The only thing is that you need it. Hold it tight.
Ernest Hemingway
The writer's job is to tell the truth.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
We wait always for something that does not come.
Ernest Hemingway
You can write anytime people will leave you alone and not interrupt you.
Ernest Hemingway
We need more true mystery in our lives Hem- he said. The completely unambitious writer and the really good unpublished poem are the things we lack most. There is of course the problem of sustenance
Ernest Hemingway
I did not care what it was all about. All I wanted to know was how to live in it. Maybe if you found out how to live in it you learned from that what is was all about.
Ernest Hemingway
Hombre, there are bodegas open all night long.
Ernest Hemingway
War is not won by victory.
Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake motion for action.
Ernest Hemingway
