More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Go all the way with it. Do not back off. For once, go all the goddamn way with what matters.
Ernest Hemingway
There can be no great literature in America until her writers have learned to trust her implicitly and love her devoutly.
Ernest Hemingway
I would walk along the quais when I had finished work or when I was trying to think something out. It was easier to think if I was walking and doing something or seeing people doing something that they understood.
Ernest Hemingway
Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?
Ernest Hemingway
Some people, when they hear an echo, think they originated the sound.
Ernest Hemingway
But in the night he woke and held her tight as though she were all of life and it was being taken from him. He held her feeling she was all of life there was and it was true.
Ernest Hemingway
When we came back to Paris it was clear and cold and lovely.
Ernest Hemingway
Love is infinitely more endurable than hate.
Ernest Hemingway
Rush, that most exciting perversion of life, the necessity of accomplishing something in less time than should be truly allowed for its doing.
Ernest Hemingway
A severed femoral artery empties itself faster than you can believe.
Ernest Hemingway
Don't get discouraged because there's a lot of mechanical work to writing. I rewrote the first part of Farewell to Arms at least fifty times.
Ernest Hemingway
For her everything was red, orange, gold-red from the sun on the closed eyes, and it all was that color, all of it, the filling, the possessing, the having, all of that color, all in a blindness of that color. - Ernest Hemingway.
Ernest Hemingway
I'm always reading books-as many as there are. I ration myself on them so that I'll always be in supply.
Ernest Hemingway
Going to another country doesn’t make any difference. I’ve tried all that. You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. There’s nothing to that.
Ernest Hemingway
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
Ernest Hemingway
I am always in love.
Ernest Hemingway
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake motion for action.
Ernest Hemingway
Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing.... For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.
Ernest Hemingway
I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.
Ernest Hemingway
