More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Remember to get the weather in your damn book-weather is very important.
Ernest Hemingway
It's all nonsense. It's only nonsense. I'm not afraid of the rain. I am not afraid of the rain. Oh, oh, God, I wish I wasn't.
Ernest Hemingway
The only place where you could see life and death, i. e., violent death now that the wars were over, was in the bull ring and I wanted very much to go to Spain where I could study it. I was trying to learn to write, commencing with the simplest things, and one of the simplest things of all and the most fundamental is violent death.
Ernest Hemingway
When we came back to Paris it was clear and cold and lovely.
Ernest Hemingway
You'll lose it, if you talk about it
Ernest Hemingway
You can write any time people will leave you alone and not interrupt you. Or rather you can if you will be ruthless enough about it. But the best writing is certainly when you are in love. If it is all the same to you I would rather not expound on that.
Ernest Hemingway
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
War is not won by victory.
Ernest Hemingway
Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter's honor.
Ernest Hemingway
Rush, that most exciting perversion of life, the necessity of accomplishing something in less time than should be truly allowed for its doing.
Ernest Hemingway
Man is not made for defeat.
Ernest Hemingway
Any man who eats dessert is not drinking enough.
Ernest Hemingway
Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you quit, try.
Ernest Hemingway
You're not a moron. You're only a case of arrested development.
Ernest Hemingway
He remembered poor Julian [actually F. Scott Fitzgerald] and his romantic awe of them and how he had started a story once that began, The very rich are different from you and me. And how someone had said to Julian, Yes, they have more money.
Ernest Hemingway
It is one thing to be in the proximity of death, to know more or less what she is, and it is quite another thing to seek her.
Ernest Hemingway
Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.
Ernest Hemingway
It wasn't by accident that the Gettysburg address was so short. The laws of prose writing are as immutable as those of flight, of mathematics, of physics.
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
But perhaps he had enough animal strength and detached intelligence that he could make another start.
Ernest Hemingway
