More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
The road to Hell is paved with unbought stuffed dogs.
Ernest Hemingway
There are so many good ones to paint and if you paint as well as you really can and keep out of all other things and do that, it is the true thing.
Ernest Hemingway
Try and write straight English never using slang except in dialogue and then only when unavoidable. Because all slang goes sour in a short time. I only use swear words, for example, that have lasted at least a thousand years for fear of getting stuff that will be simply timely and then go sour.
Ernest Hemingway
Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.
Ernest Hemingway
Because Fascism is a lie, it is condemned to literary sterility. And when it is past, it will have no history, except the bloody history of murder.
Ernest Hemingway
Practice any faith you wish. Got a ball field up the island where you can practice. I'll give the Deity a fast one high and inside if he crowds the plate.
Ernest Hemingway
You know you’re writing well when you're throwing good stuff into the wastebasket.
Ernest Hemingway
A man does not exist until he is drunk.
Ernest Hemingway

Close to the western summit there is a dried and frozen carcas of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.
Ernest Hemingway
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
Ernest Hemingway
Remember everything is right until it's wrong. You'll know when it's wrong.
Ernest Hemingway
My training was never to drink after dinner nor before I wrote nor while I was writing.
Ernest Hemingway
I am always in love.
Ernest Hemingway
You're not a moron. You're only a case of arrested development.
Ernest Hemingway
The better the writers the less they will speak about what they have written themselves.
Ernest Hemingway
And you treat me wonderfully and keep all your promises.
Ernest Hemingway
That is what we are supposed to do when we are at our best - make it all up - but make it up so truly that later it will happen that way.
Ernest Hemingway
So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine is a grand thing, I said. It makes you forget all the bad.
Ernest Hemingway
I think you should learn about writing from everybody who has ever written that has anything to teach you
Ernest Hemingway
