His talent was as natural as ...

His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

From things that have happene...

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.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

Pound's crazy. All poets are....

Pound's crazy. All poets are. They have to be. You don't put a poet like Pound in the loony bin.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

I learned never to empty the ...

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.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

Ezra was right half the time,...

Ezra was right half the time, and when he was wrong, he was so wrong you were never in any doubt about it.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

That terrible mood of depress...

That terrible mood of depression of whether it's any good or not is what is known as The Artist's Reward.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

'For Whom the Bell Tolls' was...

'For Whom the Bell Tolls' was a problem which I carried on each day. I knew what was going to happen in principle. But I invented what happened each day I wrote.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

A writer of fiction is really...

A writer of fiction is really... a congenital liar who invents from his own knowledge or that of other men.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

The good parts of a book may ...

The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life and one is as good as the other.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

A serious writer is not to be...

A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

You can write any time people...

You can write any time people will leave you alone and not interrupt you. Or, rather, you can if you will be ruthless enough about it. But the best writing is certainly when you are in love.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

I always rewrite each day up ...

I always rewrite each day up to the point where I stopped. When it is all finished, naturally you go over it. You get another chance to correct and rewrite when someone else types it, and you see it clean in type. The last chance is in the proofs. You're grateful for these different chances.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

I know only that what is mora...

I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

Things may not be immediately...

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 937 quotes

On the 'Star,' you were force...

On the 'Star,' you were forced to learn to write a simple declarative sentence. This is useful to anyone. Newspaper work will not harm a young writer and could help him if he gets out of it in time.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

I never had to choose a subje...

I never had to choose a subject - my subject rather chose me.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

I've tried to reduce profanit...

I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

After you finish a book, you ...

After you finish a book, you know, you're dead. But no one knows you're dead. All they see is the irresponsibility that comes in after the terrible responsibility of writing.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

I'm not going to get into the ring with Tolstoy.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.
