More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Being against evil doesn't make you good.
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
Retirement is the ugliest word in the language.
Ernest Hemingway
A writer's problem does not change. He himself changes and the world he lives in changes but his problem remains the same. It is always how to write truly and having found what is true, to project it is such a way that it becomes a part of the experience of the person who reads it.
Ernest Hemingway
God knows I didn't mean to fall in love with her
Ernest Hemingway
It was strange how easy being tired enough made it.
Ernest Hemingway
The only place where you could see life and death, i. e., violent death now that the wars were over, was in the bull ring and I wanted very much to go to Spain where I could study it. I was trying to learn to write, commencing with the simplest things, and one of the simplest things of all and the most fundamental is violent death.
Ernest Hemingway
If the book is good, is about something that you know, and is truly written, and reading it over you see that this is so, you can let the boys yip and the noise will have that pleasant sound coyotes make on a very cold night when they are out in the snow and you are in your own cabin that you have built or paid for with your work.
Ernest Hemingway
You're beautiful, like a May fly.
Ernest Hemingway
God knows, people who are paid to have attitudes toward things, professional critics, make me sick camp-following eunuchs of literature.
Ernest Hemingway
Religion is the opium of the poor.
Ernest Hemingway
The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.
Ernest Hemingway
I didn't want to kiss you goodbye — that was the trouble — I wanted to kiss you good night — and there's a lot of difference.
Ernest Hemingway
No one should be alone in their old age, he thought.
Ernest Hemingway
He was violating the second rule of the two rules for getting on well with people that speak Spanish give the men tobacco and leave the women alone
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
The best way is to read it all every day from the start, correcting as you go along, then go on from where you stopped the day before. When it gets so long that you can't do this every day read back two or three chapters each day then each week read it all from the start. That's how you make it all of one piece.
Ernest Hemingway
The bicycle riders drank much wine, and were burned and browned by the sun. They did not take the race seriously except among themselves.
Ernest Hemingway
As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.
Ernest Hemingway
I decided to stop drinking with creeps. I decided to drink only with friends. I've lost 30 pounds.
Ernest Hemingway
