More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
The worst death for anyone is to lose the center of his being, the thing he really is. Retirement is the filthiest word in the language. Whether by choice or by fate, to retire from what you do - and makes you what you are - is to back up into the grave.
Ernest Hemingway
You'll lose it, if you talk about it
Ernest Hemingway
Work could cure almost anything
Ernest Hemingway
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
Ernest Hemingway
You could omit anything if you knew that the omitted part would strengthen the short story and make people feel something more than they understood
Ernest Hemingway
If the wind rises it can push us against the flood when it comes.
Ernest Hemingway
Never confuse movement with action.
Ernest Hemingway
Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing.... For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.
Ernest Hemingway
Always stop for the day while you still know what will happen next.
Ernest Hemingway
Ronda is the place where to go, if you are planning to travel to Spain for a honeymoon or for being with a girlfriend. The whole city and its surroundings are a romantic set. ... Nice promenades, good wine, excellent food, nothing to do.
Ernest Hemingway
Time is the least thing we have.
Ernest Hemingway
It is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.
Ernest Hemingway
In the fall the war was always there but we did not go to it any more.
Ernest Hemingway
we would be together and have our books and at night be warm in bed together with the windows open and the stars bright.
Ernest Hemingway
As a writer, you should not judge, you should understand.
Ernest Hemingway
The house was built on the highest part of the narrow tongue of land between the harbor and the open sea. It had lasted through three hurricanes and it was built solid as a ship.
Ernest Hemingway
A big lie is more plausible than truth.
Ernest Hemingway
Tell me some true things about fighting.''Tell me you love me.''I love you,' the girl said. 'You can publish it in the Gazzettino if you like. I love your hard, flat body and your strange eyes that frighten me when they become wicked. I love your hand and all your other wounded places.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine ... offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than possibly any other purely sensory thing which may be purchased.
Ernest Hemingway
What did I know best that I had not written about and Lost? What did I know about truly and care for the most?
Ernest Hemingway
