More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Life breaks all of us but some of us get stronger in the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
I felt the death loneliness that comes at the end of every day that is wasted in your life.
Ernest Hemingway
Retirement is the ugliest word in the language.
Ernest Hemingway
When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve.
Ernest Hemingway
In the morning there was a big wind blowing and the waves were running high up on the beach and he was awake a long time before he remembered that his heart was broken.
Ernest Hemingway
I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.
Ernest Hemingway
I was so sentimental about you I'd break any one's heart for you. My, I was a damned fool. I broke my own heart, too. It's broken and gone. Everything I believe in and everything I cared about I left for you because you were so wonderful and you loved me so much that love was all that mattered. Love was the greatest thing, wasn't it?
Ernest Hemingway
You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across, not just to depict life, or criticize it, but to actually make it alive.
Ernest Hemingway
In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.
Ernest Hemingway
Luck is a thing that comes in many forms and who can recognize her?
Ernest Hemingway
The better the writers the less they will speak about what they have written themselves.
Ernest Hemingway
Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife underhand into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all the furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it.
Ernest Hemingway
All you need to do is write truly and not care about what the fate of it is.
Ernest Hemingway
The only kind of writing is rewriting.
Ernest Hemingway
Let him think is I am more man than I am and I will be so.
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
There is no friend as loyal as a book.
Ernest Hemingway
In the spring mornings I would work early while my wife still slept. The windows were open wide and the cobbles of the street were drying after the rain.
Ernest Hemingway
There is seven-eights of it under water for every part that shows. Anything you know you can eliminate and it only strengthens your iceberg. It is the part that doesn't show. If a writer omits something because he does not know it then there is a hole in the story.
Ernest Hemingway
You ought to dream. All our biggest businessmen have been dreamers.
Ernest Hemingway
