Ernest Hemingway
I am always in love.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
I wish I had died before I ever loved anyone but her.
Ernest Hemingway
Ascensions into heaven are like falling leaves sad and happy all at the same time Going away isn't really sad especially when your going enables a new kind of presence to be born.
Ernest Hemingway
Everything that's innocent to us is crazy to them.
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 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
To be successful in writing, use short sentences.
