| 81b9285 | But why must all the operations in life be performed without an anesthetic? | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| f2d06d0 | The old man drank his coffee slowly. It was all he would have all day and he knew that he should take it. For a long time now eating had bored him and he never carried a lunch. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 70b524c | In writing there are many secrets too. Nothing is ever lost no matter how it seems at the time and what is left out will always show and make the strength of what is left in. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 1b12587 | There is not much future in men being friends with great women although it can be pleasant enough before it gets better or worse, and there is usually even less future with truly ambitious women writers. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 29cf19e | if the day was bright, I would buy a liter of wine and a piece of bread and some sausage and sit in the sun and read one of the books I had bought and watch the fishing. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 9a17729 | A thousand years makes economics silly and a work of art endures for ever, but it is very difficult to do and now it is not fashionable. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 5ed8db6 | A writer's job is to tell the truth. His standard of fidelity to the truth should be so high that his invention, out of his experience, should produce a truer account than anything factual can be. For facts can be observed badly; but when a good writer is creating something, he has time and scope to make an absolute truth.6 | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 2ee824e | Ernest Hemingway recognized that "the shortest [way to an] answer" is to stop talking and start "doing the thing." -- | Evan Sayet | ||
| 8fdb6b2 | If a man liked his friends' painting or writing, I thought it was probably like those people who like their families, and it was not polite to criticize them. Sometimes you can go quite a long time before you criticize families, your own or those by marriage, but it is easier with bad painters because they do not do terrible things and make intimate harm as families can do. With bad painters all you need to do is not look at them. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| aaf7db8 | You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| b70af65 | That was called transplanting yourself, I thought, and it could be as necessary with people as with other sorts of growing things. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 5b33430 | I've seen you, beauty, and you belong to me now, whoever you are waiting for and if I never see you again, I thought. You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil. Then I went back to writing and I entered far into the story and was lost in it. I was writing it now and it was not writing itself and I did not look up nor know anything about the time nor think where I was nor order any more rum St.. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| eea81e5 | Maybe away from Paris I could write about Paris as in Paris I could write about Michigan. I did not know it was too early for that because I did not know Paris well enough. But that was how it worked out eventually. Anyway we would go if my wife wanted to, and I finished the oysters and the wine and paid my score in the cafe and made it the shortest way back up the Montagne Ste. Genevieve through the rain, that was now only local weather an.. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 74c1ea8 | My wife and I had called on Miss Stein, and she and the friend who lived with her had been very cordial and friendly and we had loved the big studio with the great paintings. It was like one of the best rooms in the finest museum except there was a big fireplace and it was warm and comfortable and they gave you good things to eat and tea and natural distilled liqueurs made from purple plums, yellow plums or wild raspberries. These were frag.. | Ernest Hemingway | ||

| ea61e09 | Should I pity so and so?" I asked. I gave his name but he delights so in giving it himself that I feel there is no need to give it for him. "No. He's vicious. He's a corrupter and he's truly vicious." "But he's supposed to be a good writer." "He's not," she said. "He's just a showman and he corrupts for the pleasure of corruption and he leads people into other vicious practices as well." | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 4707982 | How do you tell a valuable French book?' 'First there are the pictures. Then it is a question of the quality of the pictures. Then it is the binding. If a book is good, the owner will have it bound properly. All books in English are bound, but bound badly. There is no way of judging them. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| bf26d4d | Harry looked at him and you could see the murder come in his face. ... Harry didn't say anything, but you could see the killing go out of his face and his eyes came open natural again. | face killing murder | Ernest Hemingway | |
| a2bc956 | Let's walk down the rue de Seine and look in all the galleries and in the windows of the shops.' 'Sure. We can walk anywhere and we can stop at some new cafe where we don't know anyone and nobody knows us and have a drink.' 'We can have two drinks.' 'Then we can eat somewhere.' 'No. Don't forget we have to pay the library.' 'We'll come home and eat here and we'll have a lovely meal and drink Beaune from the co-operative you can se.. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 401e5a1 | E bom que nao tenhamos de tentar matar a lua, o sol ou as estrelas. Ja e ruim viver no mar e ter de matar os nossos verdadeiros irmaos | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| eb0e6ed | The rifle and the pistol are still the equalizer when one man is more of a man than another, and if...he is really smart...he will get a permit to carry one and then drop around to Abercrombie and Fitch and buy himself a .22 caliber Colt automatic pistol, '''Woodsman model''', with a five-inch barrel and a box of shells. I advise him to get lubricated hollow points to avoid jams and to ensure a nice expansion on the bullet. He might even ge.. | hemingway pistols target-practice | Ernest Hemingway | |

| 2642850 | You know. Don't pretend you don't know. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| c201d6f | The rich were dull and they drank too much, or they played too much backgammon. They were dull and they were repetitious. He remembered poor Julian and his romantic awe of them and how he had started a story once that began, "The very rich are different from you and me." And how some one had said to Julian, Yes, they have more money. But that was not humorous to Julian. He thought they were a special glamourous race and when he found they w.. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| dac286d | I loved the country so that I was happy as you are after you have been with a woman that you really love, when, empty, you feel it welling up again and there it is and you can never have it all and yet what there is, now, you can have, and you want more and more, to have, and be, and live in, to possess now again for always, for that long, sudden-ended always; making time stand still, sometimes so very still that afterwards you wait to hear.. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| da2ad6d | You don't have to destroy me. Do you? I'm only a middle-aged woman who loves you and wants to do what you want to do. I've been destroyed two or three times already. You wouldn't want to destroy me again, would you?" "I'd like to destroy you a few times in bed," he said. "Yes. That's the good destruction. That's the way we're made to be destroyed." | Ernest Hemingway | ||

| 9633d6b | When Pauline Pfeiffer wrote Hadley Hemingway, "I've seen your husband E. Hemingway several times...", how could she not be blamed for breaking up the marriage. I'm not buying that Pauline was naive." | pauline-pfeiffer | Ruth A. Hawkins | |

| ce4e801 | Ma arvasin, et olin juba koige eest maksnud. Mitte nii nagu naised, kes aina maksavad ja maksavad ja maksavad. Ei mingit tasu ja karistuse pohimotet. Lihtne vaartuste vahetus. Sa annad midagi ara ja saad midagi vastu. Voi sa tootad millegi eest. Nii voi teisiti maksad sa koige eest, mis midagi vaart on. Olin lunastanud endale elus palju asju, mis mulle meeldisid, ja selleparast olin elust monu tundnud. Asjade eest, mis sulle roomu valmistav.. | Ernest Hemingway | ||

Ako dvaminata mozhekha da b'dat t'i zdravo izgradeni kato morski far, bikha postradali samo ptitsite. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 46ad375 | They questioned us but they were polite because we had passports and money. I do not think they believed a word of the story and I thought it was silly but it was like a law-court. You did not want something reasonable, you wanted something technical and then stuck to it without explanations. | law | Ernest Hemingway | |

| 221673e | Sunday morning dawned bright and cloudless. Ernest awoke early as always. He put on the red "Emporor's robe" and padded softly down the carpeted stairway. The early sunlight lay in pools on the living room floor. He had noticed that the guns were locked up in the basement. But the keys, as he well knew, were on the window ledge above the kitchen sink. He tiptoed down the basement stairs and unlocked the storage room. It smelled as dank as a.. | Carlos Baker | ||
