More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
You won't do our things with another girl, or say the same things, will you?
Ernest Hemingway
Never confuse motions with action.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
The way to learn whether a person is trustworthy is to trust him.
Ernest Hemingway
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.
Ernest Hemingway
I do not think I had ever seen a nastier-looking man. Under the black hat, when I had first seen them, the eyes had been those of an unsuccessful rapist.
Ernest Hemingway
We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.
Ernest Hemingway
It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write.
Ernest Hemingway
I did not understand them but they did not have any mystery, and when I understood them they meant nothing to me. I was sorry about this but there was nothing I could do about it.
Ernest Hemingway
I was blown up while we were eating cheese.
Ernest Hemingway
It is one thing to be in the proximity of death, to know more or less what she is, and it is quite another thing to seek her.
Ernest Hemingway
Oh, darling, you will be good to me, won’t you? Because we’re going to have a strange life.
Ernest Hemingway
Why should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?
Ernest Hemingway
But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there.
Ernest Hemingway
Some people, when they hear an echo, think they originated the sound.
Ernest Hemingway
For we have thought the longer thoughts And gone the shorter way. And we have danced to devils' tunes, Shivering home to pray To serve one master in the night, Another in the day.
Ernest Hemingway
When we came back to Paris it was clear and cold and lovely.
Ernest Hemingway
The fun of talk is to explore, but much of it and all that is irresponsible should not be written. Once written you have to stand by it. You may have said it to see whether you believed it or not.
Ernest Hemingway
A man does not exist until he is drunk.
Ernest Hemingway
A big lie is more plausible than truth.
Ernest Hemingway
