Quote DB :: Authors :: Ernest Hemingway :: View Quote View Quote "My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way." - Copy to Clipboard   --  Ernest Hemingway Listed in: Writing Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 4  Rate Quote 4 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 quotes from Ernest Hemingway "There is no friend as loyal as a book." "There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention." "The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for." "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know." "Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day." Top 5 quotes from Writing "Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets." "Advice to young writers who want to get ahead without annoying delays: don’t write about Man, write about 'a' man." "No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader." "Special-interest publications should realize that if they are attracting enough advertising and readers to make a profit, the interest is not so special." "If I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud."
