More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
The best writing is certainly when you are in love
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
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
And who understands? Not me, because if I did I would forgive it all.
Ernest Hemingway
He could beat anything, he thought, because no thing could hurt him if he did not care.
Ernest Hemingway
Though there is one part of writing that is solid and you do it no harm by talking about it, the other is fragile, and if you talk about it, the structure cracks and you have nothing.
Ernest Hemingway
Being against evil doesn't make you good. Tonight I was against it and then I was evil myself. I could feel it coming just like a tide... I just want to destroy them. But when you start taking pleasure in it you are awfully close to the thing you're fighting.
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
No horse named Morbid ever won a race.
Ernest Hemingway
What did I know best that I had not written about and Lost? What did I know about truly and care for the most?
Ernest Hemingway
My father was a deeply sentimental man. And like all sentimental men, he was also very cruel.
Ernest Hemingway
Any man who eats dessert is not drinking enough.
Ernest Hemingway
The shortest answer is doing the thing.
Ernest Hemingway
But you always fall for somebody else and then it's all right. Fall for them but don't let them ruin you.
Ernest Hemingway
The clouds were building up now for the trade wind and he looked ahead and saw a flight of wild ducks etching themselves against the sky over the water, then blurring, then etching again and he knew no man was ever alone on the sea.
Ernest Hemingway
To hell with them. Nothing hurts if you don't let it.
Ernest Hemingway
My heart's broken,' he thought. 'If I feel this way my heart must be broken.
Ernest Hemingway
Most people are heartless about turtles because a turtle's heart will beat for hours after he has been cut up and butchered. But the old man thought, I have such a heart too and my feet and hands are like theirs.
Ernest Hemingway
You cannot stop trusting people in life but I have learned to be a little bit careful. The way to make people trust-worthy is to trust them.
Ernest Hemingway
