More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
It is silly not to hope, besides I believe it is a sin. The Old Man and the Sea

Ernest Hemingway
Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.
Ernest Hemingway
A bottle of wine was good company.
Ernest Hemingway
There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.
Ernest Hemingway
Love is infinitely more endurable than hate.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
You make your own luck, Gig. You know what makes a good loser? Practice.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
You are all a lost generation. [with credit to Gertrude Stein]
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway

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
You can write any time people will leave you alone and not interrupt you. Or rather you can if you will be ruthless enough about it. But the best writing is certainly when you are in love.
Ernest Hemingway
How little we know of what there is to know.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine is a grand thing, I said. It makes you forget all the bad.
Ernest Hemingway
'Safety', the wife of Pablo said. 'There is no such thing as safety. There are so many seeking safety here now that they make a great danger. In seeking safety now you lose all.'
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer stops observing, he is finished.
Ernest Hemingway
You never kill any one that you want to kill in a war, he said to himself.
Ernest Hemingway
