More quotes by Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Retirement is the ugliest word in the language.

Ernest Hemingway
If you have a success, you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.
Ernest Hemingway
Il faut d'abord durer (First One Must Endure).
Ernest Hemingway
At night, never go to bed without knowing what you'll write tomorrow.
