Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
You never understand anybody that loves you.
Ernest Hemingway
If every one said orders were impossible to carry out when they were received where would you be? Where would we all be if you just said, Impossible, when orders came?
Ernest Hemingway
I'm tired of everybody. Please forgive me.
Ernest Hemingway
Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.
Ernest Hemingway
Going to another country doesn’t make any difference. I’ve tried all that. You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. There’s nothing to that.
Ernest Hemingway
Write the best story that you can and write it as straight as you can.

Retirement is the ugliest word in the language.
