I wish I had died before I ever loved anyone but her.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
A big lie is more plausible than truth.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Remember everything is right until it's wrong. You'll know when it's wrong.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
The great thing is to last and get your work done and see and hear and learn and understand and write when there is something that you know and not before, and not too damned much after.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
We have come out of the time when obedience, the acceptance of discipline, intelligent courage and resolution were most important, into that more difficult time when it is a man's duty to understand his world rather than simply fight for it.
Ernest Hemingway

For a poet he threw a very accurate milk bottle.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
You can write any time people will leave you alone and not interrupt you. Or rather you can if you will be ruthless enough about it. But the best writing is certainly when you are in love.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke that I was not happy.
Ernest Hemingway

Life breaks all of us but some of us get stronger in the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
The only place where you could see life and death, i. e., violent death now that the wars were over, was in the bull ring and I wanted very much to go to Spain where I could study it. I was trying to learn to write, commencing with the simplest things, and one of the simplest things of all and the most fundamental is violent death.
Ernest Hemingway

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
There are so many good ones to paint and if you paint as well as you really can and keep out of all other things and do that, it is the true thing.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I do not need to get used to your silence. I already know it. I quite possibly love all of it.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the wall above the urinal.
Ernest Hemingway

Good dialogue is not real speech-it's the illusion of real speech.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I love you for all that you are, all that you have been, all that you're yet to be.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Fish, the old man said. Fish, you are going to have to die anyway. Do you have to kill me too?
Ernest Hemingway
Image
For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can.
