Work could cure almost anything
Ernest Hemingway
Writing is something that you can never do as well as it can be done. It is a perpetual challenge and it is more difficult than anything else that I have ever done.
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
Everything that's innocent to us is crazy to them.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
The better the writers the less they will speak about what they have written themselves.
Ernest Hemingway
If the book is good, is about something that you know, and is truly written, and reading it over you see that this is so, you can let the boys yip and the noise will have that pleasant sound coyotes make on a very cold night when they are out in the snow and you are in your own cabin that you have built or paid for with your work.
Ernest Hemingway
She was looking into my eyes with that way she had of looking that made you wonder whether she really saw out of her own eyes. They would look on and on after every one else's eyes in the world would have stopped looking. She looked as though there were nothing on earth she would not look at like that, and really she was afraid of so many things.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write.
Ernest Hemingway
Now I am depressed myself,' I said. 'That's why I never think about these things. I never think and yet when I begin to talk I say the things I have found out in my mind without thinking.
Ernest Hemingway
The English talked with inflected phrases. One phrase to mean everything.
Ernest Hemingway
Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?
Ernest Hemingway
Every damn thing is your own fault, if you are any good.
Ernest Hemingway
Until you're grown-up they send you to reform school. After you're grown-up they send you to the penitentiary.
Ernest Hemingway
My heart's broken,' he thought. 'If I feel this way my heart must be broken.
Ernest Hemingway
Good dialogue is not real speech-it's the illusion of real speech.
Ernest Hemingway
In the fall the war was always there but we did not go to it any more.
Ernest Hemingway
You’ll ache. And you’re going to love it. It will crush you. And you’re still going to love all of it.
Ernest Hemingway
The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it.
Ernest Hemingway
