The shortest answer is doing the thing.
Ernest Hemingway
It wasn't by accident that the Gettysburg address was so short. The laws of prose writing are as immutable as those of flight, of mathematics, of physics.
Ernest Hemingway
Oh, darling, you will be good to me, won’t you? Because we’re going to have a strange life.
Ernest Hemingway
we would be together and have our books and at night be warm in bed together with the windows open and the stars bright.
Ernest Hemingway
You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.
Ernest Hemingway
When I am working on a book or a story I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you and it is cool or cold and you come to your work and warm as you write.
Ernest Hemingway
The questioners had that beautiful detachment and devotion to stern justice of men dealing in death without being in any danger of it.
Ernest Hemingway
Each day of not writing, of comfort, of being that which he despised, dulled his ability and softened his will to work so that, finally, he did no work at all.
Ernest Hemingway
What did I know best that I had not written about and Lost? What did I know about truly and care for the most?
Ernest Hemingway
It is a miserable thing to have people writing about your private life while you are alive. I have tried to stop it all that I could but there have been many abuses by people I trusted. You cannot stop trusting people in life but I have learned to be a little bit careful. The way to make people trust-worthy is to trust them.
Ernest Hemingway
'Safety', the wife of Pablo said. 'There is no such thing as safety. There are so many seeking safety here now that they make a great danger. In seeking safety now you lose all.'
Ernest Hemingway
The fish is my friend too...I have never seen or heard of such a fish. But I must kill him. I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars. Imagine if each day a man must try to kill the moon, he thought. The moon runs away. But imagine if a man each day should have to try to kill the sun? We were born lucky he thought
Ernest Hemingway
To hell with them. Nothing hurts if you don't let it.
Ernest Hemingway
No Pilar, Agustin said. You are not smart. You are brave. You are loyal. You have decision. You have intuition. Much decision and much heart. But you are not smart.
Ernest Hemingway
When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve.
Ernest Hemingway
I drink to make other people more interesting.
Ernest Hemingway
But after I got them to leave and shut the door and turned off the light it wasn't any good. It was like saying good-by to a statue. After a while I went out and left the hospital and walked back to the hotel in the rain.
Ernest Hemingway
You're not a moron. You're only a case of arrested development.
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
Critics are men who watch a battle from a high place then come down and shoot the survivors.
Ernest Hemingway
