More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Rush, that most exciting perversion of life, the necessity of accomplishing something in less time than should be truly allowed for its doing.
Ernest Hemingway
Write drunk edit sober.
Ernest Hemingway
Because Fascism is a lie, it is condemned to literary sterility. And when it is past, it will have no history, except the bloody history of murder.
Ernest Hemingway
You don't have to destroy me. Do you?
Ernest Hemingway
Everything that a painter did or that a writer wrote was a part of his training and preparation for what he was to do.
Ernest Hemingway
If the reader prefers, this book may be regarded as fiction. But there is always the chance that such a book of fiction may throw some light on what has been written as fact.
Ernest Hemingway
It's harder to write in the third person but the advantage is you move around better.
Ernest Hemingway
You never kill any one that you want to kill in a war, he said to himself.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write.
Ernest Hemingway
A writer without a sense of justice or injustice would be better off editing the yearbook for a school for exceptional children.
Ernest Hemingway
You're awfully dark, brother, he said. You don't know how dark.
Ernest Hemingway
Paris is so very beautiful that it satisfies something in you that is always hungry in America.
Ernest Hemingway
There are only two places in the world where we can live happy: at home and in Paris.
Ernest Hemingway
When we came back to Paris it was clear and cold and lovely.
Ernest Hemingway
Never confuse movement with action.
Ernest Hemingway
Any man who eats dessert is not drinking enough.
Ernest Hemingway
Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.
Ernest Hemingway
You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across, not just to depict life, or criticize it, but to actually make it alive.
Ernest Hemingway
