More from Ernest Hemingway
"There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it's like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges."
"Abstract words such as glory, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene beside the concrete names of villages, the numbers of roads, the names of rivers, the numbers of regiments and the dates."
"I still believe that man's highest purpose is to become a man."
"The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it."
"I belong to this race, and this race belongs to me."
