More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Always stop for the day while you still know what will happen next.
Ernest Hemingway
That is what we are supposed to do when we are at our best - make it all up - but make it up so truly that later it will happen that way.
Ernest Hemingway
Most people are heartless about turtles because a turtle's heart will beat for hours after he has been cut up and butchered. But the old man thought, I have such a heart too and my feet and hands are like theirs.
Ernest Hemingway
This was a big storm and he might as well enjoy it. It was ruining everything, but you might as well enjoy it
Ernest Hemingway
My father was a deeply sentimental man. And like all sentimental men, he was also very cruel.
Ernest Hemingway
You can write any time people will leave you alone and not interrupt you. Or rather you can if you will be ruthless enough about it. But the best writing is certainly when you are in love.
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
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
So this was how you died, in whispers that you did not hear.
Ernest Hemingway
What did I know best that I had not written about and Lost? What did I know about truly and care for the most?
Ernest Hemingway
Life breaks all of us but some of us get stronger in the broken places.
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
All stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you. Especially do all stories of monogamy end in death, and your man who is monogamous while he often lives most happily, dies in the most lonely fashion.
Ernest Hemingway
Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.
Ernest Hemingway
The whiskey warmed his tongue and the back of his throat, but it did not change his ideas any, and suddenly, looking at himself in the mirror behind the bar, he knew that drinking was never going to do any good to him now. Whatever he had now he had, and it was from now on, and if he drank himself unconscious when he woke up it would be there.
Ernest Hemingway
The shortest answer is doing the thing.
Ernest Hemingway
Life is pain, so live it up while you can.
Ernest Hemingway
The better the writers the less they will speak about what they have written themselves.
Ernest Hemingway
When you start to live outside yourself, it's all dangerous.
Ernest Hemingway
[Robert] Capa: He was a good friend and a great and very brave photographer. It is bad luck for everybody that the percentages caught up with him. It is especially bad for Capa. (On Capa's death in Vietnam, May, 27, 1954)
