Remember to get the weather in your damn book--weather is ve... - Ernest Hemingway

"There is no friend as loyal as a book."

"People who write fiction, if they had not taken it up, might have become very successful liars."

"All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer."

"I didn't want to kiss you goodbye — that was the trouble — I wanted to kiss you good night — and there's a lot of difference."

"It's harder to write in the third person but the advantage is you move around better."
