Ernest Hemingway
Where do the noses go? I always wondered where the noses would go.
Ernest Hemingway
You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn't kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the temple.
Ernest Hemingway
We're stronger in the places that we've been broken.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Every damn thing is your own fault, if you are any good.
Ernest Hemingway
