More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Don't get discouraged because there's a lot of mechanical work to writing. I rewrote the first part of Farewell to Arms at least fifty times.
Ernest Hemingway
Keep right on lying to me. That's what I want you to do.
Ernest Hemingway
'Safety', the wife of Pablo said. 'There is no such thing as safety. There are so many seeking safety here now that they make a great danger. In seeking safety now you lose all.'
Ernest Hemingway
The best writing is certainly when you are in love
Ernest Hemingway
I am like a blind pig when I work.
Ernest Hemingway
Sometimes you know the story. Sometimes you make it up as you go along and have no idea how it will come out.
Ernest Hemingway
Because Fascism is a lie, it is condemned to literary sterility. And when it is past, it will have no history, except the bloody history of murder.
Ernest Hemingway
I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there.
Ernest Hemingway
My working habits are simple: long periods of thinking, short periods of writing.
Ernest Hemingway
Personal columnists are jackals and no jackal has been known to live on grass once he had learned about meat - no matter who killed the meat for him.
Ernest Hemingway
As a Nobel Prize winner I cannot but regret that the award was never given to Mark Twain, nor to Henry James, speaking only of my own countrymen. Greater writers than these also did not receive the prize. I would have been happy - happier - today if the prize had been given to that beautiful writer Isak Dinesen.
Ernest Hemingway
Critics are men who watch a battle from a high place then come down and shoot the survivors.
Ernest Hemingway
A person with increasing knowledge and sensory education may derive infinite enjoyment from wine.
Ernest Hemingway
He rested sitting on the un-stepped mast and sail and tried not to think but only to endure.
Ernest Hemingway
Wine is the most civilized thing in the world.
Ernest Hemingway
The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.
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
A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book.
Ernest Hemingway
We think. We are not peasants. We are mechanics. But even the peasants know better than to believe in a war. Everybody hates war. There is a class that control a country that is stupid and down not realise anything and never can. That is why we have this war. Also they make money out of it.
Ernest Hemingway
Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. He should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. There are only certain words which are valid and similes (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing I can think of at this time).
