More quotes by 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
And you treat me wonderfully and keep all your promises.
Ernest Hemingway
Wearing down seven number two pencils is a good day's work.
Ernest Hemingway
Every damn thing is your own fault, if you are any good.
Ernest Hemingway
But did thee feel the earth move?
Ernest Hemingway
As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.
Ernest Hemingway
Life is pain, so live it up while you can.
Ernest Hemingway
You won't do our things with another girl, or say the same things, will you?
Ernest Hemingway
(World War I) was the most colossal, murderous, mismanaged butchery that has ever taken place on earth. Any writer who said otherwise lied, So the writers either wrote propaganda, shut up, or fought.
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 mistake movement for action
Ernest Hemingway
When we came back to Paris it was clear and cold and lovely.
Ernest Hemingway
If the book is good, is about something that you know, and is truly written, and reading it over you see that this is so, you can let the boys yip and the noise will have that pleasant sound coyotes make on a very cold night when they are out in the snow and you are in your own cabin that you have built or paid for with your work.
Ernest Hemingway
You can write anytime people will leave you alone and not interrupt you.
Ernest Hemingway
All stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you. Especially do all stories of monogamy end in death, and your man who is monogamous while he often lives most happily, dies in the most lonely fashion.
Ernest Hemingway
The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it.
Ernest Hemingway
Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife underhand into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all the furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it.
Ernest Hemingway
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
All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.
Ernest Hemingway
Good dialogue is not real speech-it's the illusion of real speech.
Ernest Hemingway
