More quotes by 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
Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.
Ernest Hemingway
The best ammunition against lies is the truth, there is no ammunition against gossip. It is like a fog and the clear wind blows it away and the sun burns it off.
Ernest Hemingway
And you treat me wonderfully and keep all your promises.
Ernest Hemingway
Everyone has his own conscience, and there should be no rules about how a conscience should function.
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. If it is all the same to you I would rather not expound on that.
Ernest Hemingway
Having books published is very destructive to writing. It is even worse than making love too much. Because when you make love too much at least you get a damned clarte that is like no other light. A very clear and hollow light.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Everything that's innocent to us is crazy to them.
Ernest Hemingway
Worry destroys the ability to write.
Ernest Hemingway
If you have a success, you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.
Ernest Hemingway
The time to work is shorter all the time and if you waste it you ... have committed a sin for which there is no forgiveness.
Ernest Hemingway
It is a hell of a thing to be hungry in your own house.
Ernest Hemingway
Don't get discouraged because there's a lot of mechanical work to writing. I rewrote the first part of Farewell to Arms at least fifty times.
Ernest Hemingway
Enjoying living was learning to get your money's worth and knowing when you had it.
Ernest Hemingway
