More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Retirement is the ugliest word in the language.
Ernest Hemingway
Got tight on absinthe last night. Did knife tricks.
Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake movement for action
Ernest Hemingway
He liked the works of his friends, which is beautiful as loyalty but can be disastrous as judgement.
Ernest Hemingway
For a true writer each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.
Ernest Hemingway
The road to Hell is paved with unbought stuffed dogs.
Ernest Hemingway
We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.
Ernest Hemingway
We have come out of the time when obedience, the acceptance of discipline, intelligent courage and resolution were most important, into that more difficult time when it is a man's duty to understand his world rather than simply fight for it.
Ernest Hemingway
Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife underhand into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all the furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it.
Ernest Hemingway
I kept this to remind me of you trying to brush away the Villa Rossa from your teeth in the morning, swearing and eating aspirin and cursing harlots. Every time I see that glass I think of you trying to clean your conscience with a toothbrush.
Ernest Hemingway
He did not say that because he knew that if you said a good thing it might not happen.
Ernest Hemingway
I've been in love (truly) with five women, the Spanish Republic and the 4th Infantry Division.
Ernest Hemingway
Cowards die a thousand deaths, but the brave only die once.
Ernest Hemingway
I suppose if a man has something once, always something of it remains.
Ernest Hemingway
Do you know how an ugly woman feels? Do you know what it is to be ugly all your life and inside to feel that you are beautiful? It is very rare.
Ernest Hemingway
Remember to get the weather in your damn book-weather is very important.
Ernest Hemingway
I write description in longhand because that's hardest for me and you're closer to the paper when you work by hand, but I use the typewriter for dialogue because people speak like a typewriter works.
Ernest Hemingway
Go all the way with it. Do not back off. For once, go all the goddamn way with what matters.
Ernest Hemingway
She is kind and very beautiful. But she can be so cruel and it comes so suddenly and such birds that fly, dipping and hunting, with their small sad voices are made too delicately for the sea.
Ernest Hemingway
When you have a child, the world has a hostage.
Ernest Hemingway
