More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
There are two kinds of stories, the ones you live and the ones you make up. And nobody knows the difference, and I don't ever tell which is which.
Ernest Hemingway
If you stop complaining and asking for what you never will get, you will have a good life. A good life is not measured by any biblical span.
Ernest Hemingway
I believe that basically you write for two people yourself to try to make it absolutely perfect or if not that then wonderful. Then you write for who you love whether she can read or write or not and whether she is alive or dead.
Ernest Hemingway
Time is the least thing we have.
Ernest Hemingway
There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.
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
For a war to be just three conditions are necessary - public authority, just cause, right motive.
Ernest Hemingway
We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.
Ernest Hemingway
I did not care what it was all about. All I wanted to know was how to live in it. Maybe if you found out how to live in it you learned from that what is was all about.
Ernest Hemingway
Bigotry is an odd thing. To be bigoted you have to be absolutely sure you are right and nothing makes that surety and righteousness like continence. Continence is the foe of heresy.
Ernest Hemingway
The only way to combat the murder that is war is to show the dirty combinations that make it and the criminals and swine that hope for it and the idiotic way they run it when they get it so that an honest man will distrust it as he would distrust a racket and refuse to be enslaved into it.
Ernest Hemingway
It was strange how easy being tired enough made it.
Ernest Hemingway
I always rewrite each day up to the point where I stopped. When it is all finished, naturally you go over it. You get another chance to correct and rewrite when someone else types it, and you see it clean in type. The last chance is in the proofs. You're grateful for these different chances.
Ernest Hemingway
She was looking into my eyes with that way she had of looking that made you wonder whether she really saw out of her own eyes. They would look on and on after every one else's eyes in the world would have stopped looking. She looked as though there were nothing on earth she would not look at like that, and really she was afraid of so many things.
Ernest Hemingway
My writing is nothing, my boxing is everything.
Ernest Hemingway
When things are going well, I like to have people to share it with. I've been alone in troubled times, and I don't mind that. Some things have to be endured alone. As Hemingway said, the human being is strong in all the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
I've been in love (truly) with five women, the Spanish Republic and the 4th Infantry Division.
Ernest Hemingway
Every damn thing is your own fault, if you are any good.
Ernest Hemingway
The bicycle riders drank much wine, and were burned and browned by the sun. They did not take the race seriously except among themselves.
Ernest Hemingway
I always like it at a war. There is always the chance that you will get up the next morning and be killed and not have to write.
Ernest Hemingway
