You don't have to destroy me. Do you? I'm only a woman who loves you and wants to do what you want to do. I've been destroyed two or three times already. You wouldn't want to destroy me again, would you?

More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
The smallest coffins are the heaviest.
Ernest Hemingway
It is a miserable thing to have people writing about your private life while you are alive. I have tried to stop it all that I could but there have been many abuses by people I trusted. 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
The circus is the only fun you can buy that is good for you.
Ernest Hemingway
If the wind rises it can push us against the flood when it comes.
Ernest Hemingway
I love thee and thou art so lovely and so wonderful and so beautiful and it does such things to me to be with thee that I feel as though I wanted to die when I am loving thee.
Ernest Hemingway
In order to be a great writer a person must have a built-in, shockproof crap detector.
Ernest Hemingway
The time to work is shorter all the time and if you waste it you ... have committed a sin for which there is no forgiveness.
Ernest Hemingway
The better the writers the less they will speak about what they have written themselves.
Ernest Hemingway
Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well. Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either. Maybe you could never write them, and that was why you put them off and delayed the starting. Well he would never know, now.
Ernest Hemingway
It seemed out of place to think of consequences during the fiesta.
Ernest Hemingway
You're awfully dark, brother, he said. You don't know how dark.
Ernest Hemingway
Now, being in Africa, I was hungry for more of it, the changes of the seasons, the rains with no need to travel, the discomforts that you paid to make it real, the names of the trees, of the small animals, and all the birds, to know the language and have time to be in it and to move slowly.
Ernest Hemingway
Remember to get the weather in your damn book-weather is very important.
Ernest Hemingway
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.
Ernest Hemingway
Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.
Ernest Hemingway
All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.
Ernest Hemingway
When writing a novel a writer should create living people people not characters. A character is a caricature.
Ernest Hemingway
There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering all the rest are merely games.
Ernest Hemingway
Everything that a painter did or that a writer wrote was a part of his training and preparation for what he was to do.
Ernest Hemingway
A writer should be of as great probity and honesty as a priest of God. He is either honest or not, as a woman is either chaste or not, and after one piece of dishonest writing he is never the same again.
Ernest Hemingway
