Ernest Hemingway
When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.
Ernest Hemingway
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
Why should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?
Ernest Hemingway
Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.
Ernest Hemingway
You can wipe out your opponents. But if you do it unjustly you become eligible for being wiped out yourself.
Ernest Hemingway
You're beautiful, like a May fly.
Ernest Hemingway
The age demanded that we dance
And jammed us into iron pants.
And in the end the age was handed
The sort of shit that it demanded.
Ernest Hemingway
