Ernest Hemingway
If a writer stops observing, he is finished.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.
Ernest Hemingway
The best way is to read it all every day from the start, correcting as you go along, then go on from where you stopped the day before. When it gets so long that you can't do this every day read back two or three chapters each day then each week read it all from the start. That's how you make it all of one piece.
Ernest Hemingway
Any man who eats dessert is not drinking enough.
Ernest Hemingway
I didn't want to kiss you goodbye — that was the trouble — I wanted to kiss you good night — and there's a lot of difference.
Ernest Hemingway
A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book.
Ernest Hemingway
