More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
You don't have to destroy me. Do you?
Ernest Hemingway
The best way is to read it all every day from the start, correcting as you go along, then go on from where you stopped the day before. When it gets so long that you can't do this every day read back two or three chapters each day then each week read it all from the start. That's how you make it all of one piece.
Ernest Hemingway
All you need to do is write truly and not care about what the fate of it is.
Ernest Hemingway
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
Ernest Hemingway
All cowardice comes from not truly loving, or at least, not loving well.
Ernest Hemingway
And bed, he thought. Bed is my friend. Just bed, he thought. Bed will be a great thing. It is easy when you are beaten, he thought. I never knew how easy it was. And what beat you, the thought.
Ernest Hemingway
I always like it at a war. There is always the chance that you will get up the next morning and be killed and not have to write.
Ernest Hemingway
At night, never go to bed without knowing what you'll write tomorrow.
Ernest Hemingway
There are only two places in the world where we can live happy: at home and in Paris.
Ernest Hemingway
Fish, he said softly, aloud, I'll stay with you until I am dead.
Ernest Hemingway
Only one marriage I regret. I remember after I got that marriage license I went across from the license bureau to a bar for a drink. The bartender said, What will you have, sir? And I said, A glass of hemlock.
Ernest Hemingway
Not the why but the what.
Ernest Hemingway
The best way to become a writer is to go off and write.
Ernest Hemingway
The telephone and visitors are the work destroyers.
Ernest Hemingway
In the morning there was a big wind blowing and the waves were running high up on the beach and he was awake a long time before he remembered that his heart was broken.
Ernest Hemingway
Il faut d'abord durer (First One Must Endure).
Ernest Hemingway
Any man who eats dessert is not drinking enough.
Ernest Hemingway
What difference does it make if you live in a picturesque little outhouse surrounded by 300 feeble minded goats and your faithful dog? The question is: Can you write?
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
You make your own luck, Gig. You know what makes a good loser? Practice.
Ernest Hemingway
