Life breaks us all but in the end we are stronger in the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Only one marriage I regret. I remember after I got that marriage license I went across from the license bureau to a bar for a drink. The bartender said, What will you have, sir? And I said, A glass of hemlock.

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

It is a hell of a thing to be hungry in your own house.
Ernest Hemingway

The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life - and one is as good as another.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I'm always reading books-as many as there are. I ration myself on them so that I'll always be in supply.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
The bulls are my best friends. I translated to Brett. You kill your friends? she asked. Always, he said in English, and laughed. So they don't kill me.

Everyone has his own conscience, and there should be no rules about how a conscience should function.

We wait always for something that does not come.
Ernest Hemingway

Now he was proving it again. Each time was a new time and he never thought about the past when he was doing it.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I am always in love.

Time is the least thing we have.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Retirement is the ugliest word in the language.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
You can write any time people will leave you alone and not interrupt you. Or rather you can if you will be ruthless enough about it. But the best writing is certainly when you are in love.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
You're awfully dark, brother, he said. You don't know how dark.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I always rewrite each day up to the point where I stopped. When it is all finished, naturally you go over it. You get another chance to correct and rewrite when someone else types it, and you see it clean in type. The last chance is in the proofs. You're grateful for these different chances.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
The echoes of beauty you've seen transpire, Resound through dying coals of a campfire.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
The best way is to read it all every day from the start, correcting as you go along, then go on from where you stopped the day before. When it gets so long that you can't do this every day read back two or three chapters each day then each week read it all from the start. That's how you make it all of one piece.

I don’t. I don’t want anybody else to touch you. I’m silly. I get furious if they touch you.
Ernest Hemingway

For a true writer each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.
