More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Be fully in the moment,open yourself to the powerful energies dancing around you.
Ernest Hemingway
Try and write straight English never using slang except in dialogue and then only when unavoidable. Because all slang goes sour in a short time. I only use swear words, for example, that have lasted at least a thousand years for fear of getting stuff that will be simply timely and then go sour.
Ernest Hemingway
Oh, darling, you will be good to me, won’t you? Because we’re going to have a strange life.
Ernest Hemingway
Time is the least thing we have.
Ernest Hemingway
But did thee feel the earth move?
Ernest Hemingway
The sinews of war are five - men, money, materials, maintenance (food) and morale.
Ernest Hemingway
We're stronger in the places that we've been broken.
Ernest Hemingway
The further you go in writing the more alone you are.
Ernest Hemingway
Only that which makes you feel bad after doing is immoral.
Ernest Hemingway
A writer's problem does not change. He himself changes and the world he lives in changes but his problem remains the same. It is always how to write truly and having found what is true, to project it is such a way that it becomes a part of the experience of the person who reads it.
Ernest Hemingway
I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.
Ernest Hemingway
Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.
Ernest Hemingway
The telephone and visitors are the work destroyers.
Ernest Hemingway
I do not think I had ever seen a nastier-looking man. Under the black hat, when I had first seen them, the eyes had been those of an unsuccessful rapist.
Ernest Hemingway
One battle doesn't make a campagin, but critics treat one book, good or bad, like a whole war.
Ernest Hemingway
How lazily the sun goes down in Granada, it hides beneath the water, it conceals in the Alhambra!
Ernest Hemingway
The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.
Ernest Hemingway
Intelligence is so damn rare and the people who have it often have such a bad time with it that they get bitter or propagandistic and then it's not much use.
Ernest Hemingway
Luck is a thing that comes in many forms and who can recognize her?
Ernest Hemingway
A writer should be of as great probity and honesty as a priest of God. He is either honest or not, as a woman is either chaste or not, and after one piece of dishonest writing he is never the same again.
Ernest Hemingway
