More quotes by Ernest Hemingway

The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the wall above the urinal.
Ernest Hemingway
I write description in longhand because that's hardest for me and you're closer to the paper when you work by hand, but I use the typewriter for dialogue because people speak like a typewriter works.
Ernest Hemingway
The fools think I am writing algebra but what I am really writing is geometry.
Ernest Hemingway
Nobody that ever left their own country ever wrote anything worth printing. Not even in the newspapers.
