Ernest Hemingway

You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.
― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.
― Ernest Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway: A Literary Reference

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.
― Ernest Hemingway, Men Without Women

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.
― Ernest Hemingway

My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.
― Ernest Hemingway

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.
― Ernest Hemingway
