I am trying to make, before I ...

I am trying to make, before I get through, a picture of the whole world--or as much of it as I have seen. Boiling it down always, rather than spreading it out too thin. (On Writing.)

A bottle of wine was good company.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

A person with increasing knowledge and sensory education may derive infinite enjoyment from wine.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

Wine ... offers a greater rang...

Wine ... offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than possibly any other purely sensory thing which may be purchased.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

Everything is on such a clear ...

Everything is on such a clear financial basis in France. It is the simplest country to live in. No one makes things complicated by becoming your friend for any obscure reason. If you want people to like you you have only to spend a little money. I spent a little money and the waiter liked me. He appreciated my valuable qualities. He would be glad to see me, and would want me at his table. It would be a sincere liking because it would have a sound basis. I was back in France.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

I started out very quiet and I...

I started out very quiet and I beat Mr. Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat Mr. de Maupassant. I've fought two draws with Mr. Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobody's going to get me in any ring with Mr. Tolstoy unless I'm crazy or I keep getting better.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

Nobody knows what's in him until he tries to pull it out. If there's nothing, or very little, the shock can kill a man.

Life is pain, so live it up while you can.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

There is no left and right in writing. There is only good and bad writing.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

How do you tell a valuable Fre...

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 937 quotes

A continent ages quickly once ...

A continent ages quickly once we come. The natives live in harmony with it. But the foreigner destroys, cuts down the trees, drains the water, so that the water supply is altered, and in a short time the soil, once the sod is turned under, is cropped out and, next, it starts to blow away as it has blown away in every old country and as I had seen it start to blow in Canada. The earth gets tired of being exploited.

Nobody ever lives their life all the way up except bullfighters.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

If a writer stops observing he...

If a writer stops observing he is finished. Experience is communicated by small details intimately observed.

Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with that there is

Drinking wine was not a snobbism nor a sign of sophistication nor a cult; it was as natural as eating and to me as necessary...

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

You belong to me and all Paris...

You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

To me heaven would be a big bu...

To me heaven would be a big bull ring with me holding two barrera seats and a trout stream outside that no one else was allowed to fish in and two lovely houses in the town; one where I would have my wife and children and be monogamous and love them truly and well and the other where I would have my nine beautiful mistresses on nine different floors.

I may not be as stong as I think, but I know many tricks and I have resolution.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

By then I knew that everything...

By then I knew that everything good and bad left an emptiness when it stopped. But if it was bad, the emptiness filled up by itself. If it was good you could only fill it by finding something better.

Ernest Hemingway 937 quotes

But perhaps he had enough anim...

But perhaps he had enough animal strength and detached intelligence that he could make another start.
