More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering all the rest are merely games.
Ernest Hemingway
But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there, not even poverty, nor sudden money, nor the moonlight, nor right and wrong nor the breathing of someone who lay beside you in the moonlight.
Ernest Hemingway
But did thee feel the earth move?
Ernest Hemingway
Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.
Ernest Hemingway
If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not, I do not care.
Ernest Hemingway
Now he was proving it again. Each time was a new time and he never thought about the past when he was doing it.
Ernest Hemingway
You won't do our things with another girl, or say the same things, will you?
Ernest Hemingway
In Africa a thing is true at first light and a lie by noon and you have no more respect for it than for the lovely, perfect wood-fringed lake you see across the sun-baked salt plain. You have walked across that plain in the morning and you know that no such lake is there. But now it is there absolutely true, beautiful and believable.
Ernest Hemingway
The English talked with inflected phrases. One phrase to mean everything.
Ernest Hemingway
Never sit a table when you can stand at the bar.
Ernest Hemingway
If you stop complaining and asking for what you never will get, you will have a good life. A good life is not measured by any biblical span.
Ernest Hemingway
The circus is the only fun you can buy that is good for you.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine ... offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than possibly any other purely sensory thing which may be purchased.
Ernest Hemingway
You can write anytime people will leave you alone and not interrupt you.
Ernest Hemingway
My working habits are simple: long periods of thinking, short periods of writing.
Ernest Hemingway
Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well. Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either. Maybe you could never write them, and that was why you put them off and delayed the starting. Well he would never know, now.
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
I always rewrite each day up to the point where I stopped. When it is all finished, naturally you go over it. You get another chance to correct and rewrite when someone else types it, and you see it clean in type. The last chance is in the proofs. You're grateful for these different chances.
Ernest Hemingway
Life breaks all of us but some of us get stronger in the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.
Ernest Hemingway
