More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Anyone who says he wants to be a writer and isn't writing, doesn't.
Ernest Hemingway
The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.
Ernest Hemingway
Write the best story that you can and write it as straight as you can.
Ernest Hemingway
Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today. It's been that way all this year. It's been that way so many times. All of war is that way.
Ernest Hemingway
The best way is always to stop when you are going good and when you know what will happen next. If you do that every day when you are writing a novel you will never be stuck. That is the most valuable thing I can tell you so try to remember it.
Ernest Hemingway
There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.
Ernest Hemingway
A beautiful vacuum filled with wealthy monogamists, all powerful and members of the best families all drinking themselves to death.
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
The great thing is to last and get your work done and see and hear and learn and understand and write when there is something that you know and not before, and not too damned much after.
Ernest Hemingway
The fools think I am writing algebra but what I am really writing is geometry.
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer stops observing, he is finished.
Ernest Hemingway
And this was the price you paid for sleeping together.
Ernest Hemingway
Humility is not disgraceful, and carries no loss of true pride.
Ernest Hemingway
To hell with the Church when it becomes a State and the hell with the State when it becomes a Church.
Ernest Hemingway
So this was how you died, in whispers that you did not hear.
Ernest Hemingway
My only regret in life is that I did not drink more wine.
Ernest Hemingway
Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. He should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. There are only certain words which are valid and similes (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing I can think of at this time).
Ernest Hemingway
Let those who want to save the world if you can get to see it clear and as a whole. Then any part you make will represent the whole if it's made truly. The thing to do is work and learn to make it.
Ernest Hemingway
Work could cure almost anything
Ernest Hemingway
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.
Ernest Hemingway
