Ernest Hemingway

"I've seen you, beauty, and you belong to me now, whoever you are waiting for and if I never see you again, I thought. You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil."

"The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it."

"There is no friend as loyal as a book."

"I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?"

"There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein."

"All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know."

"It's harder to write in the third person but the advantage is you move around better."

"People who write fiction, if they had not taken it up, might have become very successful liars."

"I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?"

"Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you."

"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."
