Ernest Hemingway
A severed femoral artery empties itself faster than you can believe.
Ernest Hemingway
I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.
Ernest Hemingway
To hell with luck. I'll bring the luck with me.
Ernest Hemingway
First, there must be talent. . .Then there must be discipline. . .Then there must be. . .and absolute conscience. . .to prevent faking.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
