More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
The house was built on the highest part of the narrow tongue of land between the harbor and the open sea. It had lasted through three hurricanes and it was built solid as a ship.
Ernest Hemingway
If you have a success, you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.
Ernest Hemingway
Until you're grown-up they send you to reform school. After you're grown-up they send you to the penitentiary.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
The whiskey warmed his tongue and the back of his throat, but it did not change his ideas any, and suddenly, looking at himself in the mirror behind the bar, he knew that drinking was never going to do any good to him now.

Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Honor to a Spaniard, no matter how dishonest, is as real a thing as water, wine, or olive oil. There is honor among pickpockets and honor among whores. It is simply that the standards differ.
Ernest Hemingway
There will always be people who say it does not exist because they cannot have it. But I tell you it is true and that you have it and that you are lucky even if you die tomorrow.
Ernest Hemingway
French is the language of diplomacy. Spanish is the language of bureaucracy.
Ernest Hemingway
He was violating the second rule of the two rules for getting on well with people that speak Spanish give the men tobacco and leave the women alone
Ernest Hemingway
Oh Jake, Brett said, We could have had such a damned good time together. Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly, pressing Brett against me. Yes, I said. Isn't it pretty to think so?
Ernest Hemingway
Hunger is good discipline.
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
You don't have to destroy me. Do you? I'm only a woman who loves you and wants to do what you want to do. I've been destroyed two or three times already. You wouldn't want to destroy me again, would you?
Ernest Hemingway
The world was not wheeling anymore. It was just very clear and bright and inclined to blur at the edges.
Ernest Hemingway
we would be together and have our books and at night be warm in bed together with the windows open and the stars bright.
Ernest Hemingway
