More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
I love you and I always will and I am sorry. What a useless word.
Ernest Hemingway
It is very bad for (an artist) to talk about how he (creates). It is not the (artist's) province to explain or to run guided tours through the more difficult country of his work. It's none of their business that you had to learn. Let them think you were born that way.
Ernest Hemingway
No that doesn't interest me.' 'That's because you never read a book about it.
Ernest Hemingway
Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl.
Ernest Hemingway
There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.
Ernest Hemingway
The circus is the only fun you can buy that is good for you.
Ernest Hemingway
There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.
Ernest Hemingway
It's all nonsense. It's only nonsense. I'm not afraid of the rain. I am not afraid of the rain. Oh, oh, God, I wish I wasn't.
Ernest Hemingway
You're beautiful, like a May fly.
Ernest Hemingway
I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there.
Ernest Hemingway
If the book is good, is about something that you know, and is truly written, and reading it over you see that this is so, you can let the boys yip and the noise will have that pleasant sound coyotes make on a very cold night when they are out in the snow and you are in your own cabin that you have built or paid for with your work.
Ernest Hemingway
As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.
Ernest Hemingway
Fish, the old man said. Fish, you are going to have to die anyway. Do you have to kill me too?
Ernest Hemingway
I have a rotten habit of picturing the bedroom scenes of my friends.
Ernest Hemingway
And you'll always love me won't you? Yes And the rain won't make any difference? No
Ernest Hemingway
You're awfully dark, brother, he said. You don't know how dark.
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
He did not say that because he knew that if you said a good thing it might not happen.
Ernest Hemingway
She was looking into my eyes with that way she had of looking that made you wonder whether she really saw out of her own eyes. They would look on and on after every one else's eyes in the world would have stopped looking. She looked as though there were nothing on earth she would not look at like that, and really she was afraid of so many things.
Ernest Hemingway
And the ones who would not make war? Can they stop it?
Ernest Hemingway
