David Levine / Hemingway



David Levine
ERNEST HEMINGWAY



If a writer of prose knows enough of what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing

Ernest Hemingway in Death in the Afternoon




The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.



Ernest Hemingway, Men Without Women



All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.

Ernest Hemingway
