Tuesday, March 5, 2019 IST
Ernest Hemingway had once rocked the world of literature with his writing style. Writing in a minimal and trite language, this colorful author could present his stories in such a short and lucid way that everybody could understand it. On top of that, Hemingway was wise. In his writings, he was able to share some of his wisdom, as can be seen from these quotes:
“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”
“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.”
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
“The first draft of anything is shit.”
“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.”
“I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?”
“Maybe...you'll fall in love with me all over again."
"Hell," I said, "I love you enough now. What do you want to do? Ruin me?"
"Yes. I want to ruin you."
"Good," I said. "That's what I want too.”
“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”
“I drink to make other people more interesting.”
“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”
“When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.”
“The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.”
“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
“Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.”
