Hemingway

  1. However you make your living is where your talent lies.
  2. The first draft of anything is shit.
  3. If two people love each other, there can be no happy end to it.
  4. Never write about a place until you're away from it, because that gives you perspective.
  5. Everyone has his own conscience, and there should be no rules about how a conscience should function.
  6. All thinking men are atheists.
  7. Retirement is the ugliest word in the language.
  8. He was just a coward and that was the worst luck any man could have.
  9. Once we have a war there is only one thing to do. It must be won. For defeat brings worse things than any that can ever happen in war.
  10. It's none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.
  11. 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.
  12. I'm not going to get into the ring with Tolstoy.
  13. In the fall the war was always there but we did not go to it any more.
  14. Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.
  15. Eschew the monumental. Shun the Epic. All the guys who can paint great big pictures can paint great small ones.
  16. The writer's job is not to judge, but to seek to understand.
  17. Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.
  18. Eschew the monumental. Shun the Epic. All the guys who can paint great big pictures can paint great small ones.
  19. Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words?
  20. Only three things in life I've really wanted to do: shooting, writing, and making love.
