When you work hard all day with your head and know you must work again the next day what else can change your ideas and make them run on a different plane like whisky?

I was so sentimental about you I'd break any one's heart for you. My, I was a damned fool. I broke my own heart, too. It's broken and gone. Everything I believe in and everything I cared about I left for you because you were so wonderful and you loved me so much that love was all that mattered. Love was the greatest thing, wasn't it?
Ernest Hemingway

To hell with luck. I'll bring the luck with me.
Ernest Hemingway

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

He could beat anything, he thought, because no thing could hurt him if he did not care.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
But perhaps he had enough animal strength and detached intelligence that he could make another start.
Ernest Hemingway

Life breaks all of us but some of us get stronger in the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
