In stating as fully as I could how things really were, it was often very difficult and I wrote awkwardly and the awkwardness is what they called my style. All mistakes and awkwardness are easy to see, and they called it style.

More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
Where do the noses go? I always wondered where the noses would go.
Ernest Hemingway
Each day of not writing, of comfort, of being that which he despised, dulled his ability and softened his will to work so that, finally, he did no work at all.
Ernest Hemingway
You cannot stop trusting people in life but I have learned to be a little bit careful. The way to make people trust-worthy is to trust them.
Ernest Hemingway
it is all very well for you to write simply and the simpler the better. But do not start to think so damned simply. Know how complicated it is and then state it simply.
Ernest Hemingway
All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.
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
No catalogue of horrors ever kept men from war. Before the war you always think that it's not you that dies. But you will die, brother, if you go to it long enough.
Ernest Hemingway
A writer should be of as great probity and honesty as a priest of God. He is either honest or not, as a woman is either chaste or not, and after one piece of dishonest writing he is never the same again.
Ernest Hemingway
Hombre, there are bodegas open all night long.
Ernest Hemingway
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
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
You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across, not just to depict life, or criticize it, but to actually make it alive.
Ernest Hemingway
Your blood coagulates beautifully.
Ernest Hemingway
Everything that a painter did or that a writer wrote was a part of his training and preparation for what he was to do.
Ernest Hemingway
I felt the death loneliness that comes at the end of every day that is wasted in your life.
Ernest Hemingway
There isn't any me. I'm you. Don't make up a separate me.
Ernest Hemingway
Everyone my age had written a novel and I was still having difficulty writing a paragraph.
Ernest Hemingway
No horse named Morbid ever won a race.
Ernest Hemingway
I suppose if a man has something once, always something of it remains.
Ernest Hemingway
All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.
Ernest Hemingway
