More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.
Ernest Hemingway
In Africa a thing is true at first light and a lie by noon and you have no more respect for it than for the lovely, perfect wood-fringed lake you see across the sun-baked salt plain. You have walked across that plain in the morning and you know that no such lake is there. But now it is there absolutely true, beautiful and believable.
Ernest Hemingway
Before we take to the sea, we walk on land. . . Before we create, we must understand. . .
Ernest Hemingway
A person with increasing knowledge and sensory education may derive infinite enjoyment from wine.
Ernest Hemingway
But after I got them to leave and shut the door and turned off the light it wasn't any good. It was like saying good-by to a statue. After a while I went out and left the hospital and walked back to the hotel in the rain.
Ernest Hemingway
Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.
Ernest Hemingway
I decided that I would write one story about each thing that I knew about.
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
What did I know best that I had not written about and Lost? What did I know about truly and care for the most?
Ernest Hemingway
This beer is good for you. This is draft beer. Stick with the beer. Let's go and beat this guy up and come back and drink some more beer.
Ernest Hemingway
I've seen you, beauty, and you belong to me now, whoever you are waiting for and if I never see you again, I thought. You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil.
Ernest Hemingway
For a true writer each book should be a new beginning, where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment.
Ernest Hemingway
I was so sentimental about you I'd break any one's heart for you. My, I was a damned fool. I broke my own heart, too. It's broken and gone. Everything I believe in and everything I cared about I left for you because you were so wonderful and you loved me so much that love was all that mattered. Love was the greatest thing, wasn't it?
Ernest Hemingway
You're awfully dark, brother, he said. You don't know how dark.
Ernest Hemingway
It's a town you come to for a short time.
Ernest Hemingway
I was young and not gloomy and there were always strange and comic things that happened in the worst time.
Ernest Hemingway
A severed femoral artery empties itself faster than you can believe.
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
He saw the girl watching him and he smiled at her. It was an old smile that he had been using for fifty years, ever since he first smiled.
Ernest Hemingway
I don’t. I don’t want anybody else to touch you. I’m silly. I get furious if they touch you.
Ernest Hemingway
