More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
You write a book like that you're fond of over the years, then you see that happen to it, it's like pissing in your father's beer.
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
The English talked with inflected phrases. One phrase to mean everything.
Ernest Hemingway
How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.
Ernest Hemingway
And who understands? Not me, because if I did I would forgive it all.
Ernest Hemingway
It is very bad for (an artist) to talk about how he (creates). It is not the (artist's) province to explain or to run guided tours through the more difficult country of his work. It's none of their business that you had to learn. Let them think you were born that way.
Ernest Hemingway
I didn't want to kiss you goodbye — that was the trouble — I wanted to kiss you good night — and there's a lot of difference.
Ernest Hemingway
you can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.
Ernest Hemingway
My writing is nothing, my boxing is everything.
Ernest Hemingway
There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.
Ernest Hemingway
I was young and not gloomy and there were always strange and comic things that happened in the worst time.
Ernest Hemingway
It was like certain dinners I remember from the war. There was much wine, an ignored tension, and a feeling of things coming that you could not prevent happening. Under the wine I lost the disgusted feeling and was happy. It seemed they were all such nice people.
Ernest Hemingway
Never confuse movement with action.
Ernest Hemingway
I drink to make other people more interesting.
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
I did not understand them but they did not have any mystery, and when I understood them they meant nothing to me. I was sorry about this but there was nothing I could do about it.
Ernest Hemingway
It seemed out of place to think of consequences during the fiesta.
Ernest Hemingway
As to Hemingway, I read him for the first time in the early 'forties, something about bells, balls and bulls, and loathed it.
Ernest Hemingway
Let him think is I am more man than I am and I will be so.
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
