More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
I am always in love.
Ernest Hemingway
Try and write straight English never using slang except in dialogue and then only when unavoidable. Because all slang goes sour in a short time. I only use swear words, for example, that have lasted at least a thousand years for fear of getting stuff that will be simply timely and then go sour.
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
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
Ernest Hemingway
Worry destroys the ability to write.
Ernest Hemingway
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
Ernest Hemingway
And how much better to die in all the happy period of undisillusioned youth, to go out in a blaze of light, than to have your body worn out and old and illusions shattered.
Ernest Hemingway
This was a big storm and he might as well enjoy it. It was ruining everything, but you might as well enjoy it
Ernest Hemingway
The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.
Ernest Hemingway
I would not have thought of eating a meal without drinking a beer.
Ernest Hemingway
Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the Romance of the unusual.
Ernest Hemingway
I drank a bottle of wine for company. It was Chateau Margaux. It was pleasant to be drinking slowly and to be tasting the wine and to be drinking alone. A bottle of wine was good company.
Ernest Hemingway
The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life - and one is as good as another.
Ernest Hemingway
The only thing that can ruin a good day is people.
Ernest Hemingway
You've such a lovely temperature.
Ernest Hemingway
Work every day. No matter what has happened the day or night before, get up and bite on the nail.
Ernest Hemingway
If every one said orders were impossible to carry out when they were received where would you be? Where would we all be if you just said, Impossible, when orders came?
Ernest Hemingway
A writer without a sense of justice or injustice would be better off editing the yearbook for a school for exceptional children.
Ernest Hemingway
The bulls are my best friends. I translated to Brett. You kill your friends? she asked. Always, he said in English, and laughed. So they don't kill me.
Ernest Hemingway
you can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.
Ernest Hemingway
