More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Never sit a table when you can stand at the bar.
Ernest Hemingway
All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.
Ernest Hemingway

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
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.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
I decided that I would write one story about each thing that I knew about.
Ernest Hemingway
The fools think I am writing algebra but what I am really writing is geometry.
Ernest Hemingway
Paris is so very beautiful that it satisfies something in you that is always hungry in America.
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.
Ernest Hemingway
A man does not exist until he is drunk.
Ernest Hemingway
For we have thought the longer thoughts And gone the shorter way. And we have danced to devils' tunes, Shivering home to pray To serve one master in the night, Another in the day.
Ernest Hemingway
The real reason for not committing suicide is because you always know how swell life gets again after the hell is over.
Ernest Hemingway
You've such a lovely temperature.
Ernest Hemingway
But you always fall for somebody else and then it's all right. Fall for them but don't let them ruin you.
Ernest Hemingway
Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai 'Ngaje Ngai', the House of God. Close to the western summit there is a dried and frozen carcas of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude.
