Hemingway

Famous quotes containing the word hemingway:

    I started out very quiet and I beat Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat de Maupassant. I’ve fought two draws with Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobody’s going to get me in any ring with Tolstoy unless I’m crazy or I keep getting better.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    I do not think I had ever seen a nastier-looking man.... Under the black hat, when I had first seen them, the eyes had been those of an unsuccessful rapist.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    The only thing that could spoil a day was people.... People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
