I am like a blind pig when I work.
Ernest Hemingway
It is a hell of a thing to be hungry in your own house.
Ernest Hemingway
There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.
Ernest Hemingway
Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be.
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
I am an old man who will live until I die, Anselmo said.
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
I write description in longhand because that's hardest for me and you're closer to the paper when you work by hand, but I use the typewriter for dialogue because people speak like a typewriter works.
Ernest Hemingway
The only kind of writing is rewriting.
Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
If you're looking for messages, try Western Union.
Ernest Hemingway
It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write.
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
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.
Ernest Hemingway
He knew he would not be afraid. Even if he ever was afraid he knew that he could do it anyway.
Ernest Hemingway
If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not, I do not care.
Ernest Hemingway
You make something from things that have happened and from things that exist and from all things that you know and all those you cannot know, and you make something through your invention that is truer than anything true and alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it immortality.
Ernest Hemingway
Let’s not talk about how I am. It’s a subject I know too much about to want to think about anymore.
Ernest Hemingway
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
Ernest Hemingway
