All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the tru... - Ernest Hemingway

"If you have a success you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work."

"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."

"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."

"it is all very well for you to write simply and the simpler the better. But do not start to think so damned simply. Know how complicated it is and then state it simply."

"When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen."
