Ernest Hemingway Quotes

We think. We are not peasants. We are mechanics. But even the peasants know better than to believe in a war. Everybody hates war. There is a class that control a country that is stupid and down not realise anything and never can. That is why we have this war. Also they make money out of it Picture Quote #1

There is nothing you can do except try to write it the way that it was. So you must write each day better than you possibly can and use the sorrow that you have now to make you know how the early sorrow came. And you must always remember the things you believed because if you know them they will be there in the writing and you won’t betray them. The writing is the only progress you make Picture Quote #1

She was looking into my eyes with that way she had of looking that made you wonder whether she really saw out of her own eyes. They would look on and on after every one else’s eyes in the world would have stopped looking. She looked as though there were nothing on earth she would not look at like that, and really she was afraid of so many things Picture Quote #1

Being against evil doesn’t make you good. Tonight I was against it and then I was evil myself. I could feel it coming just like a tide... I just want to destroy them. But when you start taking pleasure in it you are awfully close to the thing you’re fighting Picture Quote #1

Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough Picture Quote #1

He’s a great writer. If I didn’t think so I wouldn’t have tried to kill him... I was the champ and when I read his stuff I knew he had something. So I dropped a heavy glass skylight on his head at a drinking party. But you can’t kill the guy. He’s not human Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

A writer’s problem does not change. He himself changes and the world he lives in changes but his problem remains the same. It is always how to write truly and having found what is true, to project it is such a way that it becomes a part of the experience of the person who reads it Picture Quote #1

The best way is to read it all every day from the start, correcting as you go along, then go on from where you stopped the day before. When it gets so long that you can’t do this every day read back two or three chapters each day; then each week read it all from the start. That’s how you make it all of one piece Picture Quote #1

Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well. Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either. Maybe you could never write them, and that was why you put them off and delayed the starting. Well he would never know, now Picture Quote #1

I’m not advocating the strenuous life for everyone or trying to say it’s the choice form of life. Anyone who’s had the luck or misfortune to be an athlete has to keep his body in shape. The body and mind are closely coordinated. Fattening of the body can lead to fattening of the mind. I would be tempted to say that it can lead to fattening of the soul, but I don’t know anything about the soul Picture Quote #1

The world breaks everyone or nearly everyone, of their childish illusions, assumptions and wishes, often painfully and afterwards due to the personal growth in practical experience, insight and the resulting wisdom many are strong at the broken places just like mended broken bones often are, and some people even have the great insight to be grateful for the purifying fire Picture Quote #1

The whiskey warmed his tongue and the back of his throat, but it did not change his ideas any, and suddenly, looking at himself in the mirror behind the bar, he knew that drinking was never going to do any good to him now. Whatever he had now he had, and it was from now on, and if he drank himself unconscious when he woke up it would be there Picture Quote #1

I was so sentimental about you I’d break any one’s heart for you. My, I was a damned fool. I broke my own heart, too. It’s broken and gone. Everything I believe in and everything I cared about I left for you because you were so wonderful and you loved me so much that love was all that mattered. Love was the greatest thing, wasn’t it? Picture Quote #1

Certainly there is no hunting like the hunting of man and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never really care for anything else thereafter Picture Quote #1

That is the greatest fallacy, the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful Picture Quote #1

All right. Have it your own way. Road to hell paved with unbought stuffed dogs. Not my fault Picture Quote #1

If we win here we will win everywhere. The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

Age is my alarm clock, the old man said. why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day? I don’t know, the boy said. all I know is that young boys sleep late and hard Picture Quote #1

One battle doesn’t make a campaign but critics treat one book, good or bad, like a whole goddamn war Picture Quote #1

You write a book like that that you’re fond of over the years, then you see that happen to it, it’s like pissing in your father’s beer Picture Quote #1

What is the sense of ruining my head and erasing my memory, which is my capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure but we lost the patient. It’s a bum turn, hotch, terrible Picture Quote #1

Being against evil doesn’t make you good. Tonight I was against it and then I was evil myself Picture Quote #1

Get it straight. Your boy you lose. Love you lose. Honor has been gone for a long time. Duty you do. Sure and what’s your duty? What I said I’d do. and all the other things you said you’d do? Picture Quote #1

You never had time to learn. They threw you in and told you the rules and the first time they caught you off base they killed you Picture Quote #1

She was built with curves like the hull of a racing yacht, and you missed none of it with that wool jersey Picture Quote #1

He wrote a novel, and it was not really such a bad novel as the critics later called it, although it was a very poor novel Picture Quote #1

Women made such swell friends. Awfully swell. In the first place, you had to be in love with a woman to have a basis of friendship Picture Quote #1

I suppose she only wanted what she couldn’t have. Well, people were that way Picture Quote #1
