Ernest Hemingway Quotes

"Forget your personal tragedy. We are all bitched from the start and you especially have to be hurt like hell before you can write seriously. But when you get the damned hurt use it—don’t cheat with it""The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much and forgetting that you are special too""There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed""Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another""There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self""The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them""An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools""I drink to make other people more interesting""Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut""Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know""All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know""Courage is grace under pressure""The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places""There is no friend as loyal as a book"
