Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
The clouds were building up now for the trade wind and he looked ahead and saw a flight of wild ducks etching themselves against the sky over the water, then blurring, then etching again and he knew no man was ever alone on the sea.
Ernest Hemingway
The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.
Ernest Hemingway
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.
Ernest Hemingway
In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.
Ernest Hemingway
All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.
Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake motion for action.
Ernest Hemingway
You won't do our things with another girl, or say the same things, will you?
Ernest Hemingway
Just as, with the radio, there are certain things that you become fond of,and you welcome them and resent the new things
