More quotes by Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Retirement is the ugliest word in the language.
Ernest Hemingway
The telephone and visitors are the work destroyers.
Ernest Hemingway
The things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist.

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
The only place where you could see life and death, i. e., violent death now that the wars were over, was in the bull ring and I wanted very much to go to Spain where I could study it. I was trying to learn to write, commencing with the simplest things, and one of the simplest things of all and the most fundamental is violent death.
Ernest Hemingway
I suppose if a man has something once, always something of it remains.
Ernest Hemingway
All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.
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
There is a mystery in all great writing and that mystery does not dissect out. It continues and is always valid.
Ernest Hemingway
Let those who want to save the world if you can get to see it clear and as a whole. Then any part you make will represent the whole if it's made truly. The thing to do is work and learn to make it.
Ernest Hemingway
You should only read what is truly good or what is frankly bad.
Ernest Hemingway
