Ernest Hemingway

The bulls are my best friends. I translated to Brett. You kill your friends? she asked. Always, he said in English, and laughed. So they don't kill me.
Ernest Hemingway
No horse named Morbid ever won a race.
Ernest Hemingway
In order to be a great writer a person must have a built-in, shockproof crap detector.
