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

"Never go on trips with anyone you do not love."

"Religion is the opium of the poor"

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

"I write description in longhand because that's hardest for me and you're closer to the paper when you work by hand, but I use the typewriter for dialogue because people speak like a typewriter works."

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