More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
A writer's problem does not change. He himself changes and the world he lives in changes but his problem remains the same. It is always how to write truly and having found what is true, to project it is such a way that it becomes a part of the experience of the person who reads it.
Ernest Hemingway
The things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist.
Ernest Hemingway
To hell with them. Nothing hurts if you don't let it.
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
Rush, that most exciting perversion of life, the necessity of accomplishing something in less time than should be truly allowed for its doing.
Ernest Hemingway
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.
Ernest Hemingway
I do not need to get used to your silence. I already know it. I quite possibly love all of it.
Ernest Hemingway
I wish I had died before I ever loved anyone but her.
Ernest Hemingway
I don't want to be your friend, baby. I am your friend.
Ernest Hemingway
How little we know of what there is to know.
Ernest Hemingway
Enjoying living was learning to get your money's worth and knowing when you had it.
Ernest Hemingway
And if there is not any such thing as a long time, nor the rest of your lives, nor from now on, but there is only now, why then now is the thing to praise and I am very happy with it.
Ernest Hemingway
Love is infinitely more endurable than hate.
Ernest Hemingway
Never mistake motive for action.
Ernest Hemingway
The only place where you could see life and death, i. e., violent death now that the wars were over, was in the bull ring and I wanted very much to go to Spain where I could study it. I was trying to learn to write, commencing with the simplest things, and one of the simplest things of all and the most fundamental is violent death.
Ernest Hemingway
Let him think is I am more man than I am and I will be so.
Ernest Hemingway
All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.
Ernest Hemingway
If the wind rises it can push us against the flood when it comes.
Ernest Hemingway
He saw the girl watching him and he smiled at her. It was an old smile that he had been using for fifty years, ever since he first smiled.
Ernest Hemingway
We think. We are not peasants. We are mechanics. But even the peasants know better than to believe in a war. Everybody hates war. There is a class that control a country that is stupid and down not realise anything and never can. That is why we have this war. Also they make money out of it.
Ernest Hemingway
