Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Love is infinitely more endurable than hate.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be.
Ernest Hemingway
I don't want to be your friend, baby. I am your friend.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Ezra was right half the time, and when he was wrong, he was so wrong you were never in any doubt about it.
Ernest Hemingway
I would like to take the great DiMaggio fishing, the old man said. They say his father was a fisherman. Maybe he was as poor as we are and would understand.
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
Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?
Ernest Hemingway
Man is not made for defeat.
Ernest Hemingway
I think you should learn about writing from everybody who has ever written that has anything to teach you
Ernest Hemingway
The fact that I am interrupting serious work to answer these questions proves that I am so stupid that I should be penalized severely. I will be. Don't worry.
Ernest Hemingway
I would not have thought of eating a meal without drinking a beer.
