More quotes by 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

Ernest Hemingway

Anyone who says he wants to be a writer and isn't writing, doesn't.
Ernest Hemingway
Love is infinitely more endurable than hate.
Ernest Hemingway
I drank a bottle of wine for company. It was Chateau Margaux. It was pleasant to be drinking slowly and to be tasting the wine and to be drinking alone. A bottle of wine was good company.
Ernest Hemingway
You never understand anybody that loves you.
Ernest Hemingway
Some people, when they hear an echo, think they originated the sound.
Ernest Hemingway
Good dialogue is not real speech-it's the illusion of real speech.
Ernest Hemingway
It is very bad for (an artist) to talk about how he (creates). It is not the (artist's) province to explain or to run guided tours through the more difficult country of his work. It's none of their business that you had to learn. Let them think you were born that way.
Ernest Hemingway
I would take anything I love and throw it off the highest cliff you ever saw and not wait to hear it bounce.
Ernest Hemingway
The house was built on the highest part of the narrow tongue of land between the harbor and the open sea. It had lasted through three hurricanes and it was built solid as a ship.
Ernest Hemingway
Do you know how an ugly woman feels? Do you know what it is to be ugly all your life and inside to feel that you are beautiful? It is very rare.
Ernest Hemingway
