They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.
Ernest Hemingway
Remember to get the weather in your damn book-weather is very important.
Ernest Hemingway
Sometimes you know the story. Sometimes you make it up as you go along and have no idea how it will come out.
Ernest Hemingway
When writing a novel a writer should create living people people not characters. A character is a caricature.
Ernest Hemingway
Now he was proving it again. Each time was a new time and he never thought about the past when he was doing it.
Ernest Hemingway
Up the road, in his shack, the old man was sleeping again. He was still sleeping on his face and the boy was sitting by him watching him. The old man was dreaming about the lions.
Ernest Hemingway
Cheer up,' I said. 'All countries look just like the moving pictures.
Ernest Hemingway
A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book.
Ernest Hemingway
For a war to be just three conditions are necessary - public authority, just cause, right motive.
Ernest Hemingway
When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve.
Ernest Hemingway
