Ernest Hemingway
He knew he would not be afraid. Even if he ever was afraid he knew that he could do it anyway.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
I am an old man who will live until I die, Anselmo said.
Ernest Hemingway
Everyone my age had written a novel and I was still having difficulty writing a paragraph.
Ernest Hemingway
Why should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?
Ernest Hemingway
But after I got them to leave and shut the door and turned off the light it wasn't any good. It was like saying good-by to a statue. After a while I went out and left the hospital and walked back to the hotel in the rain.
Ernest Hemingway
First, there must be talent. . .Then there must be discipline. . .Then there must be. . .and absolute conscience. . .to prevent faking.
Ernest Hemingway
Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl.
Ernest Hemingway
Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?
Ernest Hemingway
We're stronger in the places that we've been broken.
Ernest Hemingway
