More quotes by 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
But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there.
Ernest Hemingway
When we came back to Paris it was clear and cold and lovely.
Ernest Hemingway
Write drunk edit sober.
Ernest Hemingway
I am always in love.
Ernest Hemingway
I would like to take the great DiMaggio fishing, the old man said. They say his father was a fisherman. Maybe he was as poor as we are and would understand.
Ernest Hemingway
I kept this to remind me of you trying to brush away the Villa Rossa from your teeth in the morning, swearing and eating aspirin and cursing harlots. Every time I see that glass I think of you trying to clean your conscience with a toothbrush.
Ernest Hemingway
Just as, with the radio, there are certain things that you become fond of,and you welcome them and resent the new things
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
For a poet he threw a very accurate milk bottle.
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
All cowardice comes from not truly loving, or at least, not loving well.
Ernest Hemingway
There is a mystery in all great writing and that mystery does not dissect out. It continues and is always valid.
Ernest Hemingway
How would that premise stand up if he examined it? That was probably why the Communists were always cracking down on Bohemiansism. When you were drunk or when you committed adultery you recognised your own personal fallability of that so mutable substitute for the apostles' creed, the party line. Down with Bohemianism, the sin of Majakowski.
Ernest Hemingway
I believe that basically you write for two people yourself to try to make it absolutely perfect or if not that then wonderful. Then you write for who you love whether she can read or write or not and whether she is alive or dead.
Ernest Hemingway
Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.
Ernest Hemingway
Thou wilt go now, rabbit. But I go with thee. As long as there is one of us there is both of us.
Ernest Hemingway
To hell with them. Nothing hurts if you don't let it.
Ernest Hemingway
I wish I could write well enough to write about aircraft. Faulkner did it very well in Pylon but you cannot do something someone else has done though you might have done it if they hadn't.
Ernest Hemingway
I am an old man who will live until I die, Anselmo said.
