Ernest Hemingway
A severed femoral artery empties itself faster than you can believe.
Ernest Hemingway
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
Ernest Hemingway
It's harder to write in the third person but the advantage is you move around better.

Why, darling, I don't live at all when I'm not with you.
Ernest Hemingway
And this was the price you paid for sleeping together.
Ernest Hemingway
The first and final thing you have to do in this world is to last it and not be smashed by it.
