More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
You won't do our things with another girl, or say the same things, will you?
Ernest Hemingway
It is a miserable thing to have people writing about your private life while you are alive. I have tried to stop it all that I could but there have been many abuses by people I trusted. You cannot stop trusting people in life but I have learned to be a little bit careful. The way to make people trust-worthy is to trust them.
Ernest Hemingway
My,' she said. 'We're lucky that you found the place.' We're always lucky,' I said and like a fool I did not knock on wood. There was wood everywhere in that apartment to knock on too.
Ernest Hemingway
French is the language of diplomacy. Spanish is the language of bureaucracy.
Ernest Hemingway
In order to be a great writer a person must have a built-in, shockproof crap detector.
Ernest Hemingway
Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. He should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. There are only certain words which are valid and similes (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing I can think of at this time).
Ernest Hemingway
Experiencing differences is crucial to the human condition. Especially when that difference is over the head, blower powder.
Ernest Hemingway
I would like to take the great DiMaggio fishing, the old man said. They say his father was a fisherman. Maybe he was as poor as we are and would understand.
Ernest Hemingway
Anyone who says he wants to be a writer and isn't writing, doesn't.
Ernest Hemingway
Out of all the things you could not have there were some things that you could have and one of those was to know when you were happy and to enjoy all of it while it was there and it was good.
Ernest Hemingway
Work could cure almost anything
Ernest Hemingway
A big lie is more plausible than truth.
Ernest Hemingway
The best way to become a writer is to go off and write.
Ernest Hemingway
You're beautiful, like a May fly.
Ernest Hemingway
I'm always reading books-as many as there are. I ration myself on them so that I'll always be in supply.
Ernest Hemingway
You're not a moron. You're only a case of arrested development.
Ernest Hemingway
The bulls are my best friends. I translated to Brett. You kill your friends? she asked. Always, he said in English, and laughed. So they don't kill me.
Ernest Hemingway
When I am working on a book or a story I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you and it is cool or cold and you come to your work and warm as you write.
Ernest Hemingway
I did not understand them but they did not have any mystery, and when I understood them they meant nothing to me. I was sorry about this but there was nothing I could do about it.
Ernest Hemingway
You’re my religion. You’re all I’ve got.
Ernest Hemingway
