All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

For a true writer, each book ...

For a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

I know war as few other men n...

I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

If you have a success you hav...

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.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

The first panacea for a misma...

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.

Hesitation increases in relation to risk in equal proportion to age.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

Madame, all stories, if conti...

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 937 quotes

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.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

I love to go to the zoo. But ...

I love to go to the zoo. But not on Sunday. I don't like to see the people making fun of the animals, when it should be the other way around.

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.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

I don't like to write like God. It is only because you never do it, though, that the critics think you can't do it.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

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.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

When you have shot one bird flying you have shot all birds flying. They are all different and they fly in different ways but the sensation is the same and the last one is as good as the first.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

Personal columnists are jackals and no jackal has been known to live on grass once he had learned about meat - no matter who killed the meat for him.

The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

You see, I am trying in all m...

You see, I am trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across - not to just depict life - or criticize it - but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me, you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

Decadence is a difficult word...

Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

When I am working on a book o...

When I am working on a book or a story, I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you, and it is cool or cold, and you come to your work and warm as you write.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

Somebody just back of you whi...

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.
