Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Only that which makes you feel bad after doing is immoral.
Ernest Hemingway
Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.
Ernest Hemingway
Though there is one part of writing that is solid and you do it no harm by talking about it, the other is fragile, and if you talk about it, the structure cracks and you have nothing.
Ernest Hemingway
You should only read what is truly good or what is frankly bad.
Ernest Hemingway
