More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Work every day. No matter what has happened the day or night before, get up and bite on the nail.
Ernest Hemingway
It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of the country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Let those who want to save the world if you can get to see it clear and as a whole. Then any part you make will represent the whole if it's made truly. The thing to do is work and learn to make it.
Ernest Hemingway
I was a little drunk. Not drunk in any positive sense but just enough to be careless.
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
You know you’re writing well when you're throwing good stuff into the wastebasket.

Ernest Hemingway
