More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the Romance of the unusual.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Anyone who says he wants to be a writer and isn't writing, doesn't.
Ernest Hemingway
Practice any faith you wish. Got a ball field up the island where you can practice. I'll give the Deity a fast one high and inside if he crowds the plate.
Ernest Hemingway
Critics are men who watch a battle from a high place then come down and shoot the survivors.
Ernest Hemingway
The smallest coffins are the heaviest.
Ernest Hemingway
Ronda is the place where to go, if you are planning to travel to Spain for a honeymoon or for being with a girlfriend. The whole city and its surroundings are a romantic set. ... Nice promenades, good wine, excellent food, nothing to do.
Ernest Hemingway
Any man who eats dessert is not drinking enough.
Ernest Hemingway
I'm always reading books-as many as there are. I ration myself on them so that I'll always be in supply.
Ernest Hemingway
Every damn thing is your own fault, if you are any good.
Ernest Hemingway
Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.
Ernest Hemingway
Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.
Ernest Hemingway
