Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
Image
I always rewrite each day up to the point where I stopped. When it is all finished, naturally you go over it. You get another chance to correct and rewrite when someone else types it, and you see it clean in type. The last chance is in the proofs. You're grateful for these different chances.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
The shortest answer is doing the thing.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Why did they make birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallows when the ocean can be so cruel?
Ernest Hemingway
Image
And who understands? Not me, because if I did I would forgive it all.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
Hombre, there are bodegas open all night long.
Ernest Hemingway

What difference does it make if you live in a picturesque little outhouse surrounded by 300 feeble minded goats and your faithful dog? The question is: Can you write?
Ernest Hemingway

When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
