More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
How did you go bankrupt? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.
Ernest Hemingway
Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure only death can stop it. Financial security then is a great help as it keeps you from worrying.
Ernest Hemingway
If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not, I do not care.
Ernest Hemingway
Listen now. When people talk listen completely. Don't be thinking what you're going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe.
Ernest Hemingway
Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.
Ernest Hemingway
How little we know of what there is to know.
Ernest Hemingway
When I saw her I was in love with her. Everything turned over inside of me. She looked toward the door, saw there was no one, then she sat on the side of the bed and leaned over and kissed me.
Ernest Hemingway
When I am working on a book or a story I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you and it is cool or cold and you come to your work and warm as you write.
Ernest Hemingway
In stating as fully as I could how things really were, it was often very difficult and I wrote awkwardly and the awkwardness is what they called my style. All mistakes and awkwardness are easy to see, and they called it style.
Ernest Hemingway
The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the wall above the urinal.
Ernest Hemingway
Writing is the clumsy attempt to find symbols for wordlessness.
Ernest Hemingway
You could omit anything if you knew that the omitted part would strengthen the short story and make people feel something more than they understood
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer stops observing, he is finished.
Ernest Hemingway
The questioners had that beautiful detachment and devotion to stern justice of men dealing in death without being in any danger of it.
Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake motion for action.
Ernest Hemingway
Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry: Worry never fixes anything.
Ernest Hemingway
I might say that what amateurs call a style is usually only the unavoidable awkwardnesses in first trying to make something that has not heretofore been made.
Ernest Hemingway
The further you go in writing the more alone you are.
Ernest Hemingway
You never kill any one that you want to kill in a war, he said to himself.
Ernest Hemingway
A man does not exist until he is drunk.
Ernest Hemingway
