More quotes by Ernest Hemingway
You've such a lovely temperature.
Ernest Hemingway
After writing a story I was always empty and both sad and happy, as though I had made love.
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
You can write anytime people will leave you alone and not interrupt you.
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer stops observing he is finished. Experience is communicated by small details intimately observed.
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
Eschew the monumental. Shun the Epic. All the guys who can paint great big pictures can paint great small ones.
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
He knew he would not be afraid. Even if he ever was afraid he knew that he could do it anyway.
Ernest Hemingway
All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.
Ernest Hemingway
The things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist.
Ernest Hemingway
As a Nobel Prize winner I cannot but regret that the award was never given to Mark Twain, nor to Henry James, speaking only of my own countrymen. Greater writers than these also did not receive the prize. I would have been happy - happier - today if the prize had been given to that beautiful writer Isak Dinesen.
Ernest Hemingway
All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.
Ernest Hemingway
Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.
Ernest Hemingway
Your blood coagulates beautifully.
Ernest Hemingway
Things may not be immediately discernible in what a man writes, and in this sometimes he is fortunate but eventually they are quite clear and by these and the degree of alchemy that he possesses he will endure or be forgotten.
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer stops observing, he is finished.
Ernest Hemingway
A writer should be of as great probity and honesty as a priest of God. He is either honest or not, as a woman is either chaste or not, and after one piece of dishonest writing he is never the same again.
Ernest Hemingway
At night, never go to bed without knowing what you'll write tomorrow.
Ernest Hemingway
A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book.
Ernest Hemingway
