Ernest Hemingway
The best writing is certainly when you are in love
Ernest Hemingway
When things are going well, I like to have people to share it with. I've been alone in troubled times, and I don't mind that. Some things have to be endured alone. As Hemingway said, the human being is strong in all the broken places.

Pound's crazy. All poets are.... They have to be. You don't put a poet like Pound in the loony bin.
Ernest Hemingway
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
There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
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
What difference does it make if you live in a picturesque little outhouse surrounded by 300 feeble minded goats and your faithful dog? The question is: Can you write?
Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake motive for action.
Ernest Hemingway
But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there.
Ernest Hemingway
But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
Ernest Hemingway
And bed, he thought. Bed is my friend. Just bed, he thought. Bed will be a great thing. It is easy when you are beaten, he thought. I never knew how easy it was. And what beat you, the thought.
Ernest Hemingway
The telephone and visitors are the work destroyers.
