More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
All cowardice comes from not truly loving, or at least, not loving well.
Ernest Hemingway
You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, nor any before nor any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane.
Ernest Hemingway
Let him think is I am more man than I am and I will be so.
Ernest Hemingway
Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be.
Ernest Hemingway
The shortest answer is doing the thing.
Ernest Hemingway
No, that is the great fallacy: the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful.
Ernest Hemingway
A bottle of wine was good company.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Religion is the opium of the poor.
Ernest Hemingway
I love you and I always will and I am sorry. What a useless word.
Ernest Hemingway
I wish I could write well enough to write about aircraft. Faulkner did it very well in Pylon but you cannot do something someone else has done though you might have done it if they hadn't.
Ernest Hemingway
Why did they make birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallows when the ocean can be so cruel?
Ernest Hemingway
You never kill any one that you want to kill in a war, he said to himself.
Ernest Hemingway
The whiskey warmed his tongue and the back of his throat, but it did not change his ideas any, and suddenly, looking at himself in the mirror behind the bar, he knew that drinking was never going to do any good to him now. Whatever he had now he had, and it was from now on, and if he drank himself unconscious when he woke up it would be there.
Ernest Hemingway
It seemed out of place to think of consequences during the fiesta.
Ernest Hemingway
The only kind of writing is rewriting.
Ernest Hemingway
Time is the least thing we have.
Ernest Hemingway
The rain will stop, the night will end, the hurt will fade. Hope is never so lost that it can't be found.
Ernest Hemingway
And if there is not any such thing as a long time, nor the rest of your lives, nor from now on, but there is only now, why then now is the thing to praise and I am very happy with it.
Ernest Hemingway
If you have a success, you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.
Ernest Hemingway
