Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
Ernest Hemingway
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
Ernest Hemingway
Maybe...you'll fall in love with me all over again. Hell, I said, I love you enough now. What do you want to do? Ruin me? Yes. I want to ruin you. Good, I said. That's what I want too.
Ernest Hemingway
Before we take to the sea, we walk on land. . . Before we create, we must understand. . .
Ernest Hemingway
All you need to do is write truly and not care about what the fate of it is.
Ernest Hemingway
The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the wall above the urinal.
Ernest Hemingway
Keep right on lying to me. That's what I want you to do.
Ernest Hemingway
First, there must be talent. . .Then there must be discipline. . .Then there must be. . .and absolute conscience. . .to prevent faking.
