More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
So this was how you died, in whispers that you did not hear.
Ernest Hemingway
French is the language of diplomacy. Spanish is the language of bureaucracy.
Ernest Hemingway
Wearing down seven number two pencils is a good day's work.
Ernest Hemingway
He remembered poor Julian [actually F. Scott Fitzgerald] and his romantic awe of them and how he had started a story once that began, The very rich are different from you and me. And how someone had said to Julian, Yes, they have more money.
Ernest Hemingway
The whiskey warmed his tongue and the back of his throat, but it did not change his ideas any, and suddenly, looking at himself in the mirror behind the bar, he knew that drinking was never going to do any good to him now. Whatever he had now he had, and it was from now on, and if he drank himself unconscious when he woke up it would be there.
Ernest Hemingway
I wish I could write well enough to write about aircraft. Faulkner did it very well in Pylon but you cannot do something someone else has done though you might have done it if they hadn't.
Ernest Hemingway
If the wind rises it can push us against the flood when it comes.
Ernest Hemingway
It's harder to write in the third person but the advantage is you move around better.
Ernest Hemingway
We think. We are not peasants. We are mechanics. But even the peasants know better than to believe in a war. Everybody hates war. There is a class that control a country that is stupid and down not realise anything and never can. That is why we have this war. Also they make money out of it.
Ernest Hemingway
I was a little drunk. Not drunk in any positive sense but just enough to be careless.
Ernest Hemingway
Sometimes you know the story. Sometimes you make it up as you go along and have no idea how it will come out.
Ernest Hemingway
He rested sitting on the un-stepped mast and sail and tried not to think but only to endure.
Ernest Hemingway
Though there is one part of writing that is solid and you do it no harm by talking about it, the other is fragile, and if you talk about it, the structure cracks and you have nothing.
Ernest Hemingway
Everyone has his own conscience, and there should be no rules about how a conscience should function.
Ernest Hemingway
Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure only death can stop it. Financial security then is a great help as it keeps you from worrying.
Ernest Hemingway
A severed femoral artery empties itself faster than you can believe.
Ernest Hemingway
There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.
Ernest Hemingway
I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars.
Ernest Hemingway
To be successful in writing, use short sentences.
Ernest Hemingway
You know you’re writing well when you're throwing good stuff into the wastebasket.
Ernest Hemingway
