Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death,... - Ernest Hemingway

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

"You can write any time people will leave you alone and not interrupt you. Or rather you can if you will be ruthless enough about it. But the best writing is certainly when you are in love."

"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."

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

"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."
