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
Religion is like an ice cold whiskey on a hot day.
Ernest Hemingway
My heart's broken,' he thought. 'If I feel this way my heart must be broken.
Ernest Hemingway
In order to be a great writer a person must have a built-in, shockproof crap detector.
Ernest Hemingway
You'll lose it, if you talk about it
Ernest Hemingway
I would not have thought of eating a meal without drinking a beer.
Ernest Hemingway
You should only read what is truly good or what is frankly bad.

Ernest Hemingway
