More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
The whiskey warmed his tongue and the back of his throat, but it did not change his ideas any, and suddenly, looking at himself in the mirror behind the bar, he knew that drinking was never going to do any good to him now. Whatever he had now he had, and it was from now on, and if he drank himself unconscious when he woke up it would be there.
Ernest Hemingway
There is no night life in Spain. They stay up late but they get up late. That is not night life. That is delaying the day.
Ernest Hemingway
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
Ernest Hemingway
But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
Ernest Hemingway
War is no longer made by simply analyzed economic forces if it ever was. War is made or planned now by individual men, demagogues and dictators who play on the patriotism of their people to mislead them into a belief in the great fallacy of war when all their vaunted reforms have failed to satisfy the people they misrule.
Ernest Hemingway
We ate well and cheaply and drank well and cheaply and slept well and warm together and loved each other.
Ernest Hemingway
You know you’re writing well when you're throwing good stuff into the wastebasket.
Ernest Hemingway
The fact that I am interrupting serious work to answer these questions proves that I am so stupid that I should be penalized severely. I will be. Don't worry.
Ernest Hemingway
Use short sentences. Use short first paragraphs. Use vigorous English. Be positive, not negative.
Ernest Hemingway
I was young and not gloomy and there were always strange and comic things that happened in the worst time.
Ernest Hemingway
There is seven-eights of it under water for every part that shows. Anything you know you can eliminate and it only strengthens your iceberg. It is the part that doesn't show. If a writer omits something because he does not know it then there is a hole in the story.
Ernest Hemingway
The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it.
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
He could beat anything, he thought, because no thing could hurt him if he did not care.
Ernest Hemingway
I love you for all that you are, all that you have been, all that you're yet to be.
Ernest Hemingway
I am like a blind pig when I work.
Ernest Hemingway
Why did they make birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallows when the ocean can be so cruel?
Ernest Hemingway
Work could cure almost anything
Ernest Hemingway
In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.
Ernest Hemingway
Only that which makes you feel bad after doing is immoral.
Ernest Hemingway
