More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, confident loving eyes.
Ernest Hemingway
You're beautiful, like a May fly.
Ernest Hemingway
Being against evil doesn't make you good.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.
Ernest Hemingway
My writing is nothing, my boxing is everything.
Ernest Hemingway
My training was never to drink after dinner nor before I wrote nor while I was writing.
Ernest Hemingway
I would walk along the quais when I had finished work or when I was trying to think something out. It was easier to think if I was walking and doing something or seeing people doing something that they understood.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
My only regret in life is that I did not drink more wine.
Ernest Hemingway
There are two kinds of stories, the ones you live and the ones you make up. And nobody knows the difference, and I don't ever tell which is which.
Ernest Hemingway
There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.
Ernest Hemingway
Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.
Ernest Hemingway
As a writer, you should not judge, you should understand.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine is the most civilized thing in the world.
Ernest Hemingway
Honor to a Spaniard, no matter how dishonest, is as real a thing as water, wine, or olive oil. There is honor among pickpockets and honor among whores. It is simply that the standards differ.
Ernest Hemingway
I do not need to get used to your silence. I already know it. I quite possibly love all of it.
Ernest Hemingway
Life is the best left hooker I ever saw, although some say it was Charlie White of Chicago
Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake movement for action
Ernest Hemingway
The things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist.
Ernest Hemingway
