Ernest Hemingway
The only kind of writing is rewriting.
Ernest Hemingway
All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.
Ernest Hemingway
Now I am depressed myself,' I said. 'That's why I never think about these things. I never think and yet when I begin to talk I say the things I have found out in my mind without thinking.
Ernest Hemingway
Your blood coagulates beautifully.
Ernest Hemingway
I do not need to get used to your silence. I already know it. I quite possibly love all of it.
