Image
Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
If you stop complaining and asking for what you never will get, you will have a good life. A good life is not measured by any biblical span.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
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
Image
If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not, I do not care.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Only that which makes you feel bad after doing is immoral.
Ernest Hemingway

When I am working on a book or a story I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you and it is cool or cold and you come to your work and warm as you write.

I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
You ought to dream. All our biggest businessmen have been dreamers.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I might say that what amateurs call a style is usually only the unavoidable awkwardnesses in first trying to make something that has not heretofore been made.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
What a writer has to do is write what hasn't been written before or beat dead men at what they have done.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I don't want to be your friend, baby. I am your friend.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
War is no longer made by simply analyzed economic forces if it ever was. War is made or planned now by individual men, demagogues and dictators who play on the patriotism of their people to mislead them into a belief in the great fallacy of war when all their vaunted reforms have failed to satisfy the people they misrule.
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.
