More quotes by Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
I don't want to be your friend, baby. I am your friend.
Ernest Hemingway

I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there.
Ernest Hemingway
Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well. Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either. Maybe you could never write them, and that was why you put them off and delayed the starting. Well he would never know, now.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Man is not made for defeat.
Ernest Hemingway
I always like it at a war. There is always the chance that you will get up the next morning and be killed and not have to write.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
We're stronger in the places that we've been broken.
Ernest Hemingway
Bigotry is an odd thing. To be bigoted you have to be absolutely sure you are right and nothing makes that surety and righteousness like continence. Continence is the foe of heresy.
Ernest Hemingway
Life breaks all of us but some of us get stronger in the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
In order to be a great writer a person must have a built-in, shockproof crap detector.
Ernest Hemingway
Life is the best left hooker I ever saw, although some say it was Charlie White of Chicago
Ernest Hemingway
When you give power to an executive you do not know who will be filling that position when the time of crisis comes.
Ernest Hemingway
