More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Though there is one part of writing that is solid and you do it no harm by talking about it, the other is fragile, and if you talk about it, the structure cracks and you have nothing.
Ernest Hemingway
The time to work is shorter all the time and if you waste it you ... have committed a sin for which there is no forgiveness.
Ernest Hemingway
All you need to do is write truly and not care about what the fate of it is.
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
And who understands? Not me, because if I did I would forgive it all.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well. Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either. Maybe you could never write them, and that was why you put them off and delayed the starting. Well he would never know, now.
Ernest Hemingway
Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?
Ernest Hemingway
The telephone and visitors are the work destroyers.
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
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
Ernest Hemingway
Fish, the old man said. Fish, you are going to have to die anyway. Do you have to kill me too?
Ernest Hemingway
Luck is a thing that comes in many forms and who can recognize her?
Ernest Hemingway
When we came back to Paris it was clear and cold and lovely.
Ernest Hemingway
Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter's honor.
Ernest Hemingway
There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.
Ernest Hemingway
Pound's crazy. All poets are.... They have to be. You don't put a poet like Pound in the loony bin.
Ernest Hemingway
What I learned constructive about women, not just ethics like never blame them if they pox you because somebody poxed them and lots of times they don't even know they have it — that's in the first reader for squares — is, no matter how they get, always think of them the way they were on the best day they ever had.
Ernest Hemingway
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
Ernest Hemingway
