More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer stops observing he is finished. Experience is communicated by small details intimately observed.
Ernest Hemingway
Why should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?
Ernest Hemingway
There will always be people who say it does not exist because they cannot have it. But I tell you it is true and that you have it and that you are lucky even if you die tomorrow.
Ernest Hemingway
I don't want to be your friend, baby. I am your friend.
Ernest Hemingway

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

Ernest Hemingway
Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well. Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either. Maybe you could never write them, and that was why you put them off and delayed the starting. Well he would never know, now.
Ernest Hemingway
I love you and I always will and I am sorry. What a useless word.
Ernest Hemingway
Paris is so very beautiful that it satisfies something in you that is always hungry in America.
Ernest Hemingway
The world was not wheeling anymore. It was just very clear and bright and inclined to blur at the edges.
Ernest Hemingway
Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing.... For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.
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
What did I know best that I had not written about and Lost? What did I know about truly and care for the most?
Ernest Hemingway
Remember to get the weather in your damn book-weather is very important.
Ernest Hemingway
