Ernest Hemingway
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Until you're grown-up they send you to reform school. After you're grown-up they send you to the penitentiary.
Ernest Hemingway
The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.
Ernest Hemingway
Everything is your fault if you're any damn good.
Ernest Hemingway
You know you’re writing well when you're throwing good stuff into the wastebasket.
Ernest Hemingway
To hell with luck. I'll bring the luck with me.
