Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
The things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist.
Ernest Hemingway
A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book.
Ernest Hemingway
Fish, the old man said. Fish, you are going to have to die anyway. Do you have to kill me too?
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
Let him think is I am more man than I am and I will be so.
Ernest Hemingway
Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the Romance of the unusual.
Ernest Hemingway
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
