Ernest Hemingway
I don't want to be your friend, baby. I am your friend.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
To have come on all this new world of writing, with time to read in a city like Paris where there was a way of living well and working, no matter how poor you were, was like having a great treasure given to you.
Ernest Hemingway
There isn't any me. I'm you. Don't make up a separate me.
Ernest Hemingway
There will always be people who say it does not exist because they cannot have it. But I tell you it is true and that you have it and that you are lucky even if you die tomorrow.
Ernest Hemingway
And this was the price you paid for sleeping together.
Ernest Hemingway
He had loved too much, demanded too much, and he wore it all out.
Ernest Hemingway
