More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Fortunately I have never learned to take the good advice I give myself nor the counsel of my fears.
Ernest Hemingway
Remember everything is right until it's wrong. You'll know when it's wrong.
Ernest Hemingway
It seemed out of place to think of consequences during the fiesta.
Ernest Hemingway
No weapon has ever settled a moral problem. It can impose a solution but it cannot guarantee it to be a just one. You can wipe out your opponents. But if you do it unjustly you become eligible for being wiped out yourself.
Ernest Hemingway
To have come on all this new world of writing, with time to read in a city like Paris where there was a way of living well and working, no matter how poor you were, was like having a great treasure given to you.
Ernest Hemingway
I suppose if a man has something once, always something of it remains.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
The way to learn whether a person is trustworthy is to trust him.
Ernest Hemingway
Writing is something that you can never do as well as it can be done. It is a perpetual challenge and it is more difficult than anything else that I have ever done.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
If the reader prefers, this book may be regarded as fiction. But there is always the chance that such a book of fiction may throw some light on what has been written as fact.
Ernest Hemingway
But in the night he woke and held her tight as though she were all of life and it was being taken from him. He held her feeling she was all of life there was and it was true.
Ernest Hemingway
You're going to write straight and simple and good now. That's the start.''What if I'm not straight and simple and good? Do you think I can write that way?''Write how you are but make it straight.
Ernest Hemingway
A beautiful vacuum filled with wealthy monogamists, all powerful and members of the best families all drinking themselves to death.
Ernest Hemingway
I write description in longhand because that's hardest for me and you're closer to the paper when you work by hand, but I use the typewriter for dialogue because people speak like a typewriter works.
Ernest Hemingway
I did not understand them but they did not have any mystery, and when I understood them they meant nothing to me. I was sorry about this but there was nothing I could do about it.
Ernest Hemingway
My training was never to drink after dinner nor before I wrote nor while I was writing.
Ernest Hemingway
It's a town you come to for a short time.
Ernest Hemingway
Go all the way with it. Do not back off. For once, go all the goddamn way with what matters.
Ernest Hemingway
