More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
The only way to combat the murder that is war is to show the dirty combinations that make it and the criminals and swine that hope for it and the idiotic way they run it when they get it so that an honest man will distrust it as he would distrust a racket and refuse to be enslaved into it.
Ernest Hemingway
The world was not wheeling anymore. It was just very clear and bright and inclined to blur at the edges.
Ernest Hemingway
But perhaps he had enough animal strength and detached intelligence that he could make another start.
Ernest Hemingway
I was a little drunk. Not drunk in any positive sense but just enough to be careless.
Ernest Hemingway
I felt the death loneliness that comes at the end of every day that is wasted in your life.
Ernest Hemingway
There isn't any me. I'm you. Don't make up a separate me.
Ernest Hemingway
Do you know how an ugly woman feels? Do you know what it is to be ugly all your life and inside to feel that you are beautiful? It is very rare.
Ernest Hemingway
No catalogue of horrors ever kept men from war. Before the war you always think that it's not you that dies. But you will die, brother, if you go to it long enough.
Ernest Hemingway
This was a big storm and he might as well enjoy it. It was ruining everything, but you might as well enjoy it
Ernest Hemingway
He saw the girl watching him and he smiled at her. It was an old smile that he had been using for fifty years, ever since he first smiled.
Ernest Hemingway
You make your own luck, Gig. You know what makes a good loser? Practice.
Ernest Hemingway
My big fish must be somewhere.
Ernest Hemingway
If you're looking for messages, try Western Union.
Ernest Hemingway
But did thee feel the earth move?
Ernest Hemingway
You must hold hard to life and do it. But life is a cheap thing beside a man's work. The only thing is that you need it. Hold it tight.
Ernest Hemingway
But after I got them to leave and shut the door and turned off the light it wasn't any good. It was like saying good-by to a statue. After a while I went out and left the hospital and walked back to the hotel in the rain.
Ernest Hemingway
Fish, the old man said. Fish, you are going to have to die anyway. Do you have to kill me too?
Ernest Hemingway
When you work hard all day with your head and know you must work again the next day what else can change your ideas and make them run on a different plane like whisky?
Ernest Hemingway
How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.
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
