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

"If a writer stops observing he is finished. Experience is communicated by small details intimately observed."

"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."

"What difference does it make if you live in a picturesque little outhouse surrounded by 300 feeble minded goats and your faithful dog? The question is: Can you write?"

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

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