Ernest Hemingway - A Farewell to Arms, 1929
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
Ernest Hemingway
Never confuse movement with action.
Ernest Hemingway
[What is the definition of guts?] Grace under pressure.
Ernest Hemingway - in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech
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
If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
Ernest Hemingway
Courage is grace under pressure.
Ernest Hemingway
But did thee feel the earth move?

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.

But in modern war you will die like a dog for no good reason.

When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
