No catalogue of horrors ever kept men from war. Before the war you always think that it's not you that dies. But you will die, brother, if you go to it long enough.

More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
When writing a novel a writer should create living people people not characters. A character is a caricature.
Ernest Hemingway
What I learned constructive about women, not just ethics like never blame them if they pox you because somebody poxed them and lots of times they don't even know they have it — that's in the first reader for squares — is, no matter how they get, always think of them the way they were on the best day they ever had.
Ernest Hemingway
I wish I had died before I ever loved anyone but her.
Ernest Hemingway
I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there.
Ernest Hemingway
My big fish must be somewhere.
Ernest Hemingway
Oh, darling, you will be good to me, won’t you? Because we’re going to have a strange life.
Ernest Hemingway
One battle doesn't make a campagin, but critics treat one book, good or bad, like a whole war.
Ernest Hemingway
I believe that basically you write for two people yourself to try to make it absolutely perfect or if not that then wonderful. Then you write for who you love whether she can read or write or not and whether she is alive or dead.
Ernest Hemingway
Your blood coagulates beautifully.
Ernest Hemingway
I have a rotten habit of picturing the bedroom scenes of my friends.
Ernest Hemingway
Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.
Ernest Hemingway
When you work hard all day with your head and know you must work again the next day what else can change your ideas and make them run on a different plane like whisky?
Ernest Hemingway
I wish I could write well enough to write about aircraft. Faulkner did it very well in Pylon but you cannot do something someone else has done though you might have done it if they hadn't.
Ernest Hemingway
You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, nor any before nor any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane.
Ernest Hemingway
Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?
Ernest Hemingway
No one should be alone in their old age, he thought.
Ernest Hemingway
Only that which makes you feel bad after doing is immoral.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.
Ernest Hemingway
Fish, he said softly, aloud, I'll stay with you until I am dead.
Ernest Hemingway
You're not a moron. You're only a case of arrested development.
Ernest Hemingway
