Hemingway

Famous quotes containing the word hemingway:

    Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer’s loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    That is what we are supposed to do when we are at our best—make it all up—but make it up so truly that later it will happen that way.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
