More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Never confuse motions with action.
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
All good books have one thing in common - they are truer than if they had really happened.
Ernest Hemingway
I'm tired of everybody. Please forgive me.
Ernest Hemingway
For luck you carried a horse chestnut and a rabbit?s foot in your right pocket. The fur had been worn off the rabbit?s foot long ago and the bones and the sinews were polished by the wear. The claws scratched in the lining of your pocket and you knew your luck was still there.
Ernest Hemingway
Everyone has his own conscience, and there should be no rules about how a conscience should function.
Ernest Hemingway
Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
Ernest Hemingway
I think you should learn about writing from everybody who has ever written that has anything to teach you
Ernest Hemingway
We have come out of the time when obedience, the acceptance of discipline, intelligent courage and resolution were most important, into that more difficult time when it is a man's duty to understand his world rather than simply fight for it.
Ernest Hemingway
God knows I didn't mean to fall in love with her
Ernest Hemingway
Why did they make birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallows when the ocean can be so cruel?
Ernest Hemingway
All you need to do is write truly and not care about what the fate of it is.
Ernest Hemingway
Hombre, there are bodegas open all night long.
Ernest Hemingway
Most people are heartless about turtles because a turtle's heart will beat for hours after he has been cut up and butchered. But the old man thought, I have such a heart too and my feet and hands are like theirs.
Ernest Hemingway
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
Ernest Hemingway
A man does not exist until he is drunk.
Ernest Hemingway
You don't have to destroy me. Do you?
Ernest Hemingway
Let’s not talk about how I am. It’s a subject I know too much about to want to think about anymore.
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
In Africa a thing is true at first light and a lie by noon and you have no more respect for it than for the lovely, perfect wood-fringed lake you see across the sun-baked salt plain. You have walked across that plain in the morning and you know that no such lake is there. But now it is there absolutely true, beautiful and believable.
Ernest Hemingway
