Hemingway: "The shortest answer is doing the thing."
Hemingway: "The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself."
Hemingway: "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."
Hemingway: "There is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it."
Hemingway: "There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
Hemingway: "There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter."
Hemingway: "About morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after."
Hemingway: "I wake up in the morning and my mind starts making sentences, and I have to get rid of them fast - talk them or write them down."
Hemingway: "All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time."
Hemingway: "From things that have happened and from things as they exist and from all things that you know and all those you cannot know, you make something through your invention that is not a representation but a whole new thing truer than anything true and alive, and you make it alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it immortality."
Hemingway: "A writer of fiction is really... a congenital liar who invents from his own knowledge or that of other men."
Hemingway: "If you have a success you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work."
Hemingway: "I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?"
Hemingway: "The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists."
Hemingway: "When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen."
Hemingway: "If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water."
Hemingway: "There is no friend as loyal as a book."
Hemingway: "Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another."
Hemingway: "Courage is grace under pressure."
Hemingway: "I learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it."
Hemingway: "But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated."
Hemingway: "When you go to war as a boy, you have a great illusion of immortality. Other people get killed, not you... Then, when you are badly wounded the first time, you lose that illusion, and you know it can happen to you."
Hemingway: "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."
Hemingway: "They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason."
