Ernest Hemingway
Wars are Spinach. Life in general is the tough part. In war all you have to do is not worry and know how to read a map and co-ordinates.
Ernest Hemingway
Everything that a painter did or that a writer wrote was a part of his training and preparation for what he was to do.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure only death can stop it. Financial security then is a great help as it keeps you from worrying.
Ernest Hemingway
There are so many good ones to paint and if you paint as well as you really can and keep out of all other things and do that, it is the true thing.
Ernest Hemingway
Every damn thing is your own fault, if you are any good.
Ernest Hemingway
Writing is the clumsy attempt to find symbols for wordlessness.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.
Ernest Hemingway
