The great thing is to last and get your work done and see and hear and learn and understand and write when there is something that you know and not before, and not too damned much after.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
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
Image
Going to another country doesn’t make any difference. I’ve tried all that. You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. There’s nothing to that.
Ernest Hemingway

Why, darling, I don't live at all when I'm not with you.
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
Image

Ernest Hemingway
Image
You cannot stop trusting people in life but I have learned to be a little bit careful. The way to make people trust-worthy is to trust them.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Read anything I write for the pleasure of reading it. Whatever else you find will be the measure of what you brought to the reading.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I love you for all that you are, all that you have been, all that you're yet to be.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
For a true writer each book should be a new beginning, where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
A severed femoral artery empties itself faster than you can believe.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
To have come on all this new world of writing, with time to read in a city like Paris where there was a way of living well and working, no matter how poor you were, was like having a great treasure given to you.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
No writer who knows the great writers who did not receive the Prize can accept it other than with humility. There is no need to list these writers. Everyone here may make his own list according to his knowledge and his conscience.

How lazily the sun goes down in Granada, it hides beneath the water, it conceals in the Alhambra!

I've been in love (truly) with five women, the Spanish Republic and the 4th Infantry Division.

You don't have to destroy me. Do you?
