Famous quotes containing the words hemingway and/or work:
“I started out very quiet and I beat Mr. Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat Mr. de Maupassant. Ive fought two draws with Mr. Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobodys going to get me in any ring with Mr. Tolstoy unless Im crazy or I keep getting better.”
—Ernest Hemingway (18991961)
“I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.
Waking at four to soundless dark, I stare.
In time the curtain-edges will grow light.
Till then I see whats really always there:
Unresting death, a whole day nearer now,
Making all thought impossible but how
And where and when I shall myself die.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
