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

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

"I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?"

"Religion is the opium of the poor"

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

"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
