More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
It is one thing to be in the proximity of death, to know more or less what she is, and it is quite another thing to seek her.
Ernest Hemingway
The time to work is shorter all the time and if you waste it you ... have committed a sin for which there is no forgiveness.
Ernest Hemingway
For her everything was red, orange, gold-red from the sun on the closed eyes, and it all was that color, all of it, the filling, the possessing, the having, all of that color, all in a blindness of that color. - Ernest Hemingway.
Ernest Hemingway
All you need to do is write truly and not care about what the fate of it is.
Ernest Hemingway
It seemed out of place to think of consequences during the fiesta.
Ernest Hemingway
The English talked with inflected phrases. One phrase to mean everything.
Ernest Hemingway
There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.
Ernest Hemingway
The worst death for anyone is to lose the center of his being, the thing he really is. Retirement is the filthiest word in the language. Whether by choice or by fate, to retire from what you do - and makes you what you are - is to back up into the grave.
Ernest Hemingway
Hombre, there are bodegas open all night long.
Ernest Hemingway
There can be no great literature in America until her writers have learned to trust her implicitly and love her devoutly.
Ernest Hemingway
You’ll ache. And you’re going to love it. It will crush you. And you’re still going to love all of it.
Ernest Hemingway
Any man who eats dessert is not drinking enough.
Ernest Hemingway
As a Nobel Prize winner I cannot but regret that the award was never given to Mark Twain, nor to Henry James, speaking only of my own countrymen. Greater writers than these also did not receive the prize. I would have been happy - happier - today if the prize had been given to that beautiful writer Isak Dinesen.
Ernest Hemingway
The best way is to read it all every day from the start, correcting as you go along, then go on from where you stopped the day before. When it gets so long that you can't do this every day read back two or three chapters each day then each week read it all from the start. That's how you make it all of one piece.
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
I would not have thought of eating a meal without drinking a beer.
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
I do not need to get used to your silence. I already know it. I quite possibly love all of it.
Ernest Hemingway
A writer's problem does not change. He himself changes and the world he lives in changes but his problem remains the same. It is always how to write truly and having found what is true, to project it is such a way that it becomes a part of the experience of the person who reads it.
Ernest Hemingway
A severed femoral artery empties itself faster than you can believe.
