My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in... - Ernest Hemingway

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

"The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them."

"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."

"Do you suffer when you write? I don't at all. Suffer like a bastard when don't write, or just before, and feel empty and fucked out afterwards. But never feel as good as while writing."

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