Ernest Hemingway
Cowards die a thousand deaths, but the brave only die once.
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.

Ernest Hemingway
I wish I had died before I ever loved anyone but her.
Ernest Hemingway
They were beaten to start with. They were beaten when they took them from their farms and put them in the army. That is why the peasant has wisdom, because he is defeated from the start. Put him in power and see how wise he is.
Ernest Hemingway
How did you go bankrupt? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.
Ernest Hemingway
As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it.
Ernest Hemingway
For luck you carried a horse chestnut and a rabbit?s foot in your right pocket. The fur had been worn off the rabbit?s foot long ago and the bones and the sinews were polished by the wear. The claws scratched in the lining of your pocket and you knew your luck was still there.
Ernest Hemingway
Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee.
